Finally The Clipper is flying again! State-of-the-art-rendering of this fine historic aircraft. Only 12 have been built, fly one of them!
Known as the absolute quintessential flying boat, the majestic Boeing B314 Clipper is an unmistakable icon of the flying boat era. Foynes, Ireland, well-known for its claim to fame for being the birthplace of Irish coffee during this time, served as an aviation hub between North America and Europe, and with the highly anticipated B314 from PILOT’S, virtual pilots too can now recreate the many Atlantic crossings that made the fleet of Pan Am Clippers famous.
Although none of the original 12 Clipper aircraft were preserved, the inspiration to create this PILOT’S study level representation of the B314 is to allow this majestic flying machine to yet again take to the skies, even if just to the virtual skies!
