Why should this aircraft be added?
The Douglas DC-7 was an American passenger aircraft, produced from 1953 to 1958. It was an improved version of the DC-6 and the last piston-engined passenger aircraft produced by Douglas. Several DC-7B and DC-7C variants were produced, some of which were converted into cargo or firefighting aircraft.

Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love these old radial beauties from the 40s-60s, but I really just don’t feel like they have a spot in the game (yet). The only way I could see these being added is if they ever added a feature to send each airport in the game back in time (which I would love).
The only old piston engine transport aircraft I could see be added would be the DC-3, DC-4/DC-6 (if they add ANC), and mayyyyybe the Connie, and then obviously GA aircraft eventually.
Then again though, I could be totally wrong, and they could totally just add some older player-only aircraft for our fleets. It would be pretty sick to have a fleet of DC-7s at your airport not gonna lie.
I think if it were added, it should NOT be available as a fleet aircraft, but rather as event-only. there probably would only be a few liveries, so you would just about never see it, but i think that would suit it nicely.
