Just a little point
There is a double underscore between traffic and WoA in the traffic bgl title, this puts this file out of position in the traffic file in relation to other WoA packages
Not a problem but it just takes a bit of spotting in alphabetical order

Traffic__WoA_USAF E3A Component_Su07.bgl

May want to fix this in any update

That's odd, the package should read Traffic_10_WoA_USAF E3A Component_Su07.bgl

Maybe you have an old version lingering around on your system ?

The Awacs in Geilenkirchen are of the NATO Early Air Warning Force.

They are owned by nato, registered in luxembourg and are operated from MOB Geilenkirchen and 6 other FOB's.
The crews consist of aircrews made up from all participating NATO countries.
The american involvement in the operation is giving tanker support to nato by means of 2 KC-135 tanker aircraft from ANG units

Just a quick question. Where are the E3C's based? RODN, PAED, or KTIK? Or maybe at all 3? Also where do I go to see the Boeing feild based prototype? I know it says Boeing feild, but when I went to BFI to look for the plane I did not see it. Plus KBFI is not in the airports list.

I have a repaint for PAI E3 in Nato texture, and flightplans as well (I don't remember where they came from) - everything can be found on PAI & Avsim

I know ;), got that manual setup as well but I'd rather have a MAIW package for that 8)

All 3. The majority in KTIK, with a couple each in PAED, and RODN.

It hangs out in Renton. You'll also see and occasional E-6B(If you have the MAIW E-6B package) in Renton as well.

Why would you use the PAI E-3A in NATO colors when there is a much better AI E-3A in NATO colors by Chris "Elvis" Jones ???

Look for these at Avsim:

elvis_ai_b703_nato.zip

E-3 Package

Hi,
One question regarding the E-3 package.
My understanding is that the USAF purchased 34 E-3A airframes, these were modified 24 to E-3B and 10 to E-3C standard. One E-3B crashed at Elmendorf AB and one Returned to Boeing which is the JE-3C.
NATO E-3's are still E-3A.
The Package shows all aircraft as E-3A ?

Chris "Elvis" Jones produced E-3A, E-3B, E-3C, E-3D, E-3F and JE-3C models for AI use.

Therefore why use the E-3A model in the package, accepting you also have the JE-3C under E-3C ?
Regards,
Steve.
