The Sequoia is a large turboprop plane unlocked at level 22. It comes in three variants: Passenger, Cargo & Multiple. It is one of the two turboprop-engine Class 3 planes in the game, the other being the C-130 Hercules. Despite a minor cargo difference, the Sequoia has the exact same stats as the C-130, except for its speed, which is 10 mph slower. The Sequoia is the cheapest and most efficient plane for long distance transportation - it is advised by some to have at least one of these aircraft per Class 3 airport. The Sequoia is also the cheapest class 3 aircraft to build, and a very good one at that.

It seems to draw inspiration from many real world classic prop airliners from the 1940s and 50s. It has particular similarities to the shape of the fuselage, wings and tail of the Douglas DC-6 and DC-7, and to an extent the Ilyushin Il-18 and Canadair CL-44 too. Despite the striking similarities to the DC-6/7, it appears to have turboprop engines as opposed to the radial piston engines found on the Douglas aircraft. This is evidenced by the inclusion of a singular large exhaust on each engine, and the shape of the nacelle. Curiously the design of these turboprops is very modern compared to the often smaller circular designs found on aircraft of the 1950s with that type of powerplant. Despite the different tail, fuselage and nose shape, some suggest it also takes inspiration from the Lockheed L-188 Electra.
