The new color scheme to Freightmaster's cargo fleet, which replaces the incumbent "Royal Paulo Blue", and short-lived "Royal Paulo Red" schemes. Utilizing black/gold/white, the new scheme is slowly being phased in as aircraft go out of service for their overhaul. Depicted here is one of Freightmaster's Convairliners, a CV-340. The company operates a dozen Convairs, a mixture of ex-civil 240's, and ex-military C-131F's for their feeder routes and Caribbean runs.

Bio: Freightmaster Systems was founded in 1951 as Freightmaster Cargo, by WWII veteran, Harold Tanager (1921-2013). From rural Pennsylvania, Harold Tanager served in the CBI theater as an aircraft mechanic. Stationed in India and later Burma, Tanager helped service the cargo planes that flew the dangerous "Hump", providing a critical lifeline. After the war, Harold, dissatisfied with his life in Pennsylvania, moved to Florida to resume being an aircraft mechanic. Growing tired of being bossed around, Harold bought his first DC-3 in late 1950, and began flying cargo himself through Florida and much of the south. He bought a second DC-3 and created his company in 1951.

Eventually having a fleet of over twenty DC-3's, Freightmaster plotted all over the southern United States, and throughout the Caribbean, flying cargo and other goods for customers. In the 1980's, the aging DC-3 fleet was augmented by new DeHavilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otters, which flew with the company until fatigue issues grounded the whole Twin Otter fleet in 2016.

In 2016, Freightmaster joined forces with the Paulo Firearms Company, owned by Joey and his father, Andrew Paulo. Creating their own cargo line to fly ammunition and rifle parts from their factories, Joey saw an opportunity to partner up with Kurt Tanager and his father Lloyd (grandson and son to the late Harold), after a series of accidents humiliated both companies. Paulo Firearms, reeling from a mass shooting that used one of their rifles to kill fifty people at a nightclub, and Freightmaster, having a fatal crash that grounded over half their fleet due to improper maintenance by a third party company. Joining forces, both companies managed to turn things around, and expand their fleet with more restored propliners.

Over the six years of being partnered together, Freightmaster amassed a 95 plane fleet, their own maintenance and overhaul facilities, an aviation group named "The Air Transport Service", which is teamed up with Centoh Intermodal (Barev), Precision Aeronautics, Tharp Aviation (Alaska), and Wild Air Cargo (Canada).
