AirSource Military Contract Trial - AS 2 Tom Little - 05-12-2018
In a recent agreement, AirSource is providing support for military flights on a limited basis. This contract trial will be monitored and if successful, may lead to enhanced services. The contract includes multiple countries, but as stated these flights are to begin on a limited basis.
Look for these special crew pass military flights here: http://air-source.us/operations/crew_pa ... rycontract

Great addition! I've been flying thousands of miles in military/naval aircraft, modding airports to accommodate AI (MAIW) military combat and cargo parking and this is super! I've flown 1 route and would like to snag a pass for the others but, when I search the "militarycontract series", zero results are returned. Does this mean that all passes are currently taken?

Hi Barry - there are a couple in there now (get them while you can!). And they are entered once in a while so keep checking. Maybe, one day I would like to add a facility that sends an e-mail if we subscribe to a certain series of special crew passes...

Great Trip except for the Red X to ground my bird for fuel leak in starboard fuel cell.
I taxied to Fuel Cell Hangar (always the most remote and very large hangar on Base) with #1 and #4 caged.
Waiting for Line Transport to take us to Line Ops.
Re: AirSource Military Contract Trial - vadopazzo - 06-03-2018
I've spent a lot of time over the past year building and flying military aircraft AI routes and upgrading the default FSX airports as needed to include parking for military combat and cargo aircraft. (It's rare to find a default military or naval airfield with anything more than a fuel box. Fuel boxes are fine for GA airports but don't make sense for larger airports; it's just as easy to add a fuel truck as it is a fuel box. I've also included fuel trucks since they add to the realism by servicing AI aircraft just before they call for clearance.) The great new initiative by air-souce.us to add a military contract series has added greatly to my AS enjoyment and I've decided to upload to avsim.net some of the airfields included in the "militarycontract" series along with a sampling of others I've done. The title of the file is "default_military_airfield_upgrade.zip". I've made many more covering Italy, Greece, Turkey, the Gulf region, South Sudan (I like Antonovs), Madagascar, the Himalayas from Bhutan to Pakistan. I don't add a lot of airport objects since my interest (for the many AI traffic routes I've made) is for AI aircraft to land, taxi to parking, and take off without disappearing (when no parking is available or taxiways are broken.
I'm really enjoying the military contract series ... keep them coming!
