MQ-9 Reaper for AFSOC units

Post by Mark [Ripcord] »

Where are my US Chair Force experts?

Was looking for MQ-9 Reapers today. I did note that there are repaints and flight plans for the Hollomon AFB Reapers, but I really haven't found any other repaints/FPs available for other AFSOC units based elsewhere.

I ran across this while updating my Cannon AFB scenery, and in the process of searching, I noticed that there are a lot of these USAF Special Ops reaper squadrons. I mean dozens of them.

Heck now the Marines are flying them.

Anybody working on any of these?

Where did you find the Hollomon Reaper flight plans? Could you point me in their direction? Thanks.

I thought there were in the conversion package, Paul, but now I see that is clearly not the case.

Also looked hi and low for them, here and elsewhere, and it doesn't seem that anybody has made any. I guess we'll make our own versions - happy to share, but I am not an expert by any means.

Logically, where would they fly for typical training? Units at Holloman are all training units. Creech, Hurlburt, Eglin, places where they have other MQ-9 units, I would imagine. Cannon and Kirtland, probably as well, being AFSOC bases nearby. Probably some ANG bases where they operate them, like Ellington, etc.

OK, these folks were gracious enough to draw me a couple pictures.

Very helpful. When the dust settles in my life, I will give some flight plans a try. Plenty to work with.
