File Description:
The Douglas C-54 Skymaster was a four-engined transport aircraft used by the United States Army Air Forces in World War II and the Korean War. Like the Douglas C-47 Skytrain, the C-54 Skymaster was derived from a civilian airliner, the Douglas DC-4. Besides transport of cargo, the C-54 also carried presidents, prime ministers, and military staff. Dozens of variants of the C-54 were employed in a wide variety of non-combat roles such as air-sea rescue, scientific and military research, and missile tracking and recovery. During the Berlin Airlift it hauled coal and food supplies to West Berlin. After the Korean War it continued to be used for military and civilian uses by more than 30 countries. This was one of the first aircraft to carry the President of the United States.

| Spruce Goose for X-Plane 6.4/6.51 (hk-1/H-4 Hercules) |
|
File Description:
Spruce Goose v1.0 for X-Plane copyright (c) by Robert App, January 2003. History of the "Goose" - Officially designated the HK-1 (this project started out as a join venture between Hughes Aircraft and Kaiser) and later designated the H-4 Hercules after Kaiser was unable to work with Howard. It was and still remains the largest (physical dimensions wingspan and length) aircraft ever built, with the largest radial engines ever built by the West (28 cylinder, 3000 HP). The plane had to be constructed mainly of wood due to the shortage of strategic metals caused by WWII. The plane became known as the "Spruce Goose" or "Flying Lumberyard" despite the fact that the wood frame and skin were constructed mainly of laminated poplar; it also involved "sandwich" construction. The plane was flown briefly on a trial taxiing run but Hughes never allowed the plane to be flown again. Speculation has always been rampant that the design was flawed and the plane could not have met the original specification requirements. The X-Plane model is as accurate as is possible with limited plans available to me. The main wing is an X-Plane standard symmetrical high lift airfoil as opposed to the high lift asymmetrical foil section used in the actual plane. The main wing angle of attack has been adjusted to emulate the asymmetrical foil as closely as possible.
Flight Testing the Goose - I have spent many hours testing the plane on X-Plane which with few exceptions provides a very accurate flight model. The published landing speed (79 mph) pretty well verifies the takeoff speed of 52 to 55 knots (k/hr x 1.15 (approx.) = mph). In straight flight the plane is difficult to stall since the nose quickly drops and increases speed if a stall develops with a significant loss of altitude. The plane has a range on 14000 gallons of fuel and takeoff weight of 350,000 Lbs of well over 3000 nautical miles. San Diego to Wake Island via Midway Attol is a piece of cake with lots of fuel to spare at 350,000 lb GW. The plane is flyable at a GW of over 410,000 lb but climb rate is very sluggish (max 400-600 fpm) and loss of speed due to excessive side slip can cause a fatal stall, in straight flight the plane is difficult to stall. So far my conclusion is that with todays materials and jet engines (which may be a future project) this aircraft could probably be competitive in performance with todays planes. With aluminum alloys that were available during its construction its performance would probably have exceeded the initial requirements.

| Lockheed C-5A '445th Airlift Wing' |
|
File Description:
These are replacement textures for Mike Stone's excellent C-5A aircraft for the 445th Airlift Wing based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The textures are meant for AI use but will work for user aircraft as well. The 445th is an Air Force Reserve unit that is transitioning from the last flying C-141's to the C-5 Galaxy. Bigger is better !! Textures only, you will need to download the original aircraft at pmstone.com

File Description:
This scenery represents Tachikawa AB, Japan (for use with the Vietnam War Project scenery by Xavier Carre, Jacques Godfrin and Jose Guenaizia)
during the early 1960's. It is made with ADEX ver. 1.55.
And now a little history on this installation. Tachikawa was home of the 1503d Air Transport Wing (Air Transport Wing)
and was the host unit until it's closure in 1970. Attached unils were the 21st (C-123), 35th (C-118),
41st (C-124) ATS.

File Description:
Alaska Airlines Douglas DC-4 'N90449', a former USAF Douglas C-54B, (c/n 27239) was built in 1944. After WWII it was acquired by American Airlines. In 1946 the aircraft was purchased by Alaska Airlines and named Starliner Seattle. On March 2, 1957 N90449 crashed into a mountain near Seattle, Washington. This is a repaint for the beautiful Flight Replicas Douglas DC-4/C-54/ATL98 Carvair package. Tested in FSX and P3Dv4. Installation instructions are included.

| Project Airlift 99th Airlift Squadron #1 |
|
File Description:
The 99th Airlift Squadron is a member of the 89th Airlift Wing stationed at Andrews AFB. Although the 99th flies more than C-9C VIP transports, there are no viable AI models for the other bizjets that they fly. There is an excellent C-9C paint by Boback Shahsafdari (aia_c9_c_usaf.zip) available at Avsim. It is based on the AI Aardvark DC-9-30. There are only 3 C-9C transports assigned to the 99th. Project Airlift has scheduled one C-9C to fly between Washington DC and the various HQ of the United States Air Forces in Europe. Another C-9C flies between the HQ of the Air Mobility Command and the HQ of the 15th and 21st Air Forces. The last C-9C visits the HQ of all major Air Force Commands in the CONUS during the week and spends the weekend ferrying VIPs between the HQ of the Air Combat Command and the HQ of the 8th, 9th, and 12th Air Forces. Ttools by Lee Swordy is required.

File Description:
This is a repaint of the Douglas C-124C in USAF colors. The freeware Douglas C-124C for FSX by Jens Kristensen (JBK) is needed for this repaint. Air Materiel Command (AMC), formed in 1946, was headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The USAF's research and development, and logistics were operated separately during World War II. Later in 1946 they were merged, and became the responsibility of the new Air Materiel Command. The command operated until 1961 when the command was redesignated as the Air Force Logistics Command. The AMC were assigned 3 C-124 Squadrons in the 1950s until MATS took the C-124s off the AMC's hands in 1957. This C-124, serial 52-1089, was one of the C-124s that AMC had at their disposal. It was retired from Air Force service in September 1972. It is now preserved at the Warner-Robins Air Force Museum in Georgia. Textures are 32bit DDS. This repaint was tested on FSX-SE. It should also work on FSX, and P3Dv1-3.
