Re: AirSource Military Contract Trial - Leemazz - 06-03-2018
The best Military airport for FSX or P3D is EGUL Lakenheath , its freeware and its fantastic , really well made .
I welcome any military airport to be honest Barry i always check MAIW for new releases . I did notice your release on Avsim and i will be downloading it , thanks Barry
Re: AirSource Military Contract Trial - vadopazzo - 06-03-2018
thanks, Lee! Some of mine are duplicates of more elaborate sceneries but AI is central to my enjoyment and I've found some discrepencies in them, i.e., taxiways and hold short not always proper so that AI aircraft just stop or poof. I always use "Fault Finder" in ADE to be sure. I've always been more interested in departure and arrival in my flights so airport objects have taken second place. I enjoy them, tho. I'm hoping for some C5 flights here ... ;)) In my West Coast sceneries, I have helos, Ospreys, tons of jets, along with the heavy lifters populating the skies and naval airfields as well as the few Air Force bases - KEDW, KRIV, KSUU.
Re: AirSource Military Contract Trial - Leemazz - 06-04-2018
Ive had a look at the C-5 and its difficult to get info for flights for the aircraft i know its now on the decline but still operates , i need to look into it a bit more . I was looking at the P-3 Orion but again info is limited and the flights i could find where more petroling flights .
I only add real flights to the crew pass so it takes time getting the info especially with REACH callsign
Also looked at the E-3 Sentry 737 , hopefully i will add flights for those aircraft in the near future

Is there a way to contact Don Smith? He completed the WRI-VBG flight on June 4th and hasn't returned it. I'd like to fly it.
This series has been a lot of fun! Now, I'm wondering about the World Cup ... plenty of flights there! I'd be willing to help out.
Re: AirSource Military Contract Trial - AS455 - Don - 06-26-2018
Barry, I was sorry to hold you up Buddy! I was out of town! I am glad you got that trip.
I am currently working on reproducing for AirSource a real life USAF Mission that I participated in 1966.
In the fall of 1966, Charles de Gaulle told the United States to get its equipment, personnel, and operations of military bases out of France. We flew 24/7 to take what we could out and the rest would be blown up to rival any movie ever produced. As a USAF C-130E Crew Chief it was my responsibility to stay with my Herky Bird, 62-1792, and fly, fly, fly! The following will be the flights that I was a part of in the grand scheme of things. Stay tuned because it will in compass at least 16 trips in 7 countries.
I am hesitant at this point to include the aborted flights because of the prop reduction gear problems we had in Goose Bay. I will post the complete Mission and you decide if you want to fly it.

All of my C-130 flights are available in "MILITARYCONTRACT" crew passes for these 18 flights, 7 countries mission in 1966.
In the fall of 1966, Charles de Gaulle told the United States to get its equipment, personnel, and operations of military bases out of France.

Thanks Don!
Re: AirSource Military Contract Trial - vadopazzo - 06-30-2018
Thanks, Don! not a problem ... I get excited over these special projects that deviate from the scheduled routes and love military aircraft. The C130 is fascinating, having existed for so long and found new mission packages. I'll look forward to your project!
Re: AirSource Military Contract Trial - AS455 - Don - 07-09-2018
Hey AS 549 Gaston Webb
It seems that you and I like the same kinds of aircraft to fly on AirSource!
Very Cool!
Did you fly in older aircraft in year gone by?
Take Care
