Real Transportes Aereos was a major Brazilian airline which dominated the skies of South America in the fifties. Real owned one of the world's largest DC-3 fleet at that time. There were 89 DC-3s flying with Real-Aerovias colors by the end of 1958.
The Portuguese moto "Voe Pela Real Aerovias" may be free translated to English as "Fly by Royal Airways", hence the joker as the pictured logo symbol.
This is the livery of PP-YQL (serial # 2012) to be used with Microsoft DC-3 for MSFS.
The enclosed historical b&w photo shows Real's staff, with respective wives and guests before boarding PP-YQL in 1955 for a trip to the USA. My Dad and Mom are among them. They should not be so happy, because at that time a flight from São Paulo to Miami required an almost three day trip with stops in Rio de Janeiro, Anápolis, Carolina, Belém, Paramaribo, Port of Spain, Caracas and Ciudad Trujillo.
The color picture shows the same passengers standing before the MSFS PP-YQL model. Welcome to the digital world!
