BOEING B-47E STRATOJET by COYOTE AEROSPACE
This is a semi historical mod to represent the B-47E through its career as SACs most numerous bomber.
It is semi historical because there were so many variations on equipment and markings across 1300+ aircraft over its 12 year career that it is impossible to accurately represent all of them. Instead, all major units that could be represented are (in other skin packs) and the general paint schemes used during the appropriate eras are modded for the forward deployments known as Operation REFLEX. Further, new nuclear weapons have been included.
To keep file sizes down somewhat, unit skins will be release by numbered air force and available in the SF2 Skins download section
INSTALLATION
unzip installation folder
cut and paste to desired mods folder
allow overwrites (some effects and weapons mainly)
IF YOU HAVE THE B28 NUCLEAR WEAPONS ALREADY FROM ANOTHER MOD
use caution. I have set the nuclear weapons to a specific station code as NUC. Other mods featuring the B28 weapon do not have this yet, although i intend to do a comprehensive ini edit later this year across many weapons and aircraft
INCLUDED
B-47E(53) and B-47(57) aircraft

FB B-47 Stratojet (Model 450) Strategic Bomber group ..... very valuable source of information on markings and weapons
Known Issues
- At this time there are not models for the RATO pods that were commonly used by the B-47. I have a method figured out for it,
but we would need someone to model the horsecollar device with 33 JATO bottles
- Not every upgrade to the Stratojet is modeled. Again, there were 1300+ aircraft built, and 6 phases for upgrades. The (53) roughly represents
the aircraft after introduction, the (57) in between Phase 3 and 4. Anyone that would like to work any fakepilot mods to represent each of the
6 phases, as well as modifications like TEE TOWN would be welcomed.
- while online sources state the 341st Bomb Wing operated Stratojets, veteran and book sources could not even find proof of operation, let alone
marking information (they came through on all other Wings). Therefore I have not included this Bomb Wing in the mod.
- The "afterburner" trick to use water injection on take off is in effect, from 99-100%. If you want realism, and to not be visible across the
continent, dont exceed 97% power in flight.

The Canadair Sabre Mk.6 was the final variant and was considered to be the "best" production Sabre ever built.
It was equipped with a two-stage Orenda engine developing 7,275 lb (3,302 kg.) of static thrust. Its altitude
performance and climb rate was enhanced over the Mk 5 and the reinstatement of the wing leading edge slat gave
it excellent low-speed characteristics. The first production model was completed on 2 November 1954 and
ultimately 655 were built with production terminating on 9 October 1958. A total of 390 Mk 6s went to the RCAF
with the majority replacing the existing Canadair Sabre Mk 5s at the Air Division squadrons in West Germany and
France. The main air threats to NATO in the 1950s in Central Europe were the early variants of the Soviet MiG
the MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21. Based on the Korean War experience, the selection of the Mk 6 Sabre to
provide an effective opposition to the MiG threat proved to be a logical one. Canada’s commitment to NATO was
to provide 12 squadrons located at four bases – two in France (Marville and Grostenquin) and two in West Germany
(Zweibrücken and Baden Soellingen). Initially, the contribution consisted of only Sabre aircraft; however, later
it was decided to include the Avro Canada CF-100 aircraft in the defense package to provide a night and all-weather
fighter capability.
In addition to the RCAF deliveries, 225 Canadair Mk 6 Sabres were exported to the West German Luftwaffe, six were
delivered to the Colombian Air Force, and 34 went to the South African Air Force.
