Centurion Cargo MD-11F Livery (Infinite Flight)

I just happened to notice that my virtual airline, UPS Virtual, had a great many listings in its flight database for the Centurion Cargo-liveried MD-11F and realized I’d never actually seen it spawned in game.

A Centurion Cargo MD-11F is parked near a hangar under a clear blue sky, viewed from a low angle.
