Oh, oh,
Magnifique !
I'm very happy for those birds, but sincerly, since KC-135R models by Kevin Reed, Mike MacIntyre and the MAIW developement team are developed. I had hope for a full maiw package for this AB. Istres Le Tubes is an older french AFB, Istres have the european must longer runway (5000 m), airbus us it for the 380 tests. Because of his equipment of safety and security and the length of the runway, the base served for several emergency landings of civil planes in trouble. Since 1999, it is besides one of the rare air bases except the territory of the United States outings and authorized for the landing of the space shuttle.
I know, the packages are free works from members, and i'm not request special works. But for all aviation fans that we are. I just want to explain what this base represent in Europe.
At the moment there is "escadron de chasse La Fayette developped with Mirage 2000N in maiw package, whe need, 5 PC 7 repaints for EPNER (École du Personnel Navigant d’Essais et de Réception) the flights plans for PC7 and french KC 135, and scenery for have a european master piece AB for flight.
