![The 1938 Kyeema disaster: the deadliest air crash in Melbourne and Victoria
In this video we look at what is still today Victorias deadliest aviation disaster - the 1938 crash of the Kyeema DC-2 aeroplane into Mount Dandenong in Melbournes outer east.
Yes, I know the plane I use in the video is a DC-3 and doesnt have the correct livery but I couldnt find either a model or livery for FS:2020.
Big thanks to @Rheilffordd for reviewing the video too! Make sure you head over and check out his amazing channel.
