DWCAce

The read-me shoudl probably read 18,500#'s of fuel... not gallons :) Can't wait to try this after supper!

You're only doing Kimmy? He'll be so ronery...

When you get to the C-141 FM, I've a copy of the flight manual that I wouldn't mind scanning for someone to reference.

The book talks about both. It carried A-LOT of chaff (well, at least the recce versions). I'll scan what I can, but FC has some stuff in the queue before -36 stuff.

Currently tweaking the D weps....

I think the rate of transfer on the boom of a -135 is about 400gpm ( or 2720#'s if it's JP-5). Don't quote me on that one.... The single seater F-16's hold about 7k internally.

Just did :)

Don't worry, I've got the books! :) I posted a bit of info over at the Wep Wiki a few years ago, here's the link: http://bunyap2w1.com/SFP1_Wiki/index.php?t...acemaker_Series I'll be posting more info here to help with the mods.

May we include armament and such in this discussion?

I think that if you specify it in the loadout.ini, it will load it as required. Other than that, I'd say split up the stations in the the a/cdata.ini, but that would be tricky as it already has 6 groups.

On a different note, I like the logo for NF3... I think it would look good on a zap... and maybe placed on of of FC's a/c (j/k)

I'm pretty sure the A-6F would of had CCIP, so it's not thaaaat far of a stretch :)

I think TMF is making a fine a/c to escort this :)

Maybe someday some kind sol will model the Sky Shark for us :)

Looks like i've got stuff to try out on my days off (once I finish the list the g/f left for me)!

Glad to see that you're back in the air!

I too recommend Sam Adams!

Jeff, thanks for the info, and the pic details!

The USAF ones also carry the pods, though I don't know how often... Storm might be able to provide more details.

Nice touch! Just wondering, will you be adding the hose/drogue pods as well?

Having seen pics and videos of F-14's being SARDIP'd, I can't say that this is any better. :(

damn, seems like everyone (including my g/f) has seen one in flight. The only one I've seen is the YF-22@ the museum..

I've done some crazy maneuvers with zero tweaks, and tried to replicate some of the demo and record setting flights as described above. and a side note... nothing is cooler than having a .45 because it can take a tango down with 1 shot (and I'm not talking headshots).

I'm glad that you've 'Chosen' this project! :)
