Seems like a good idea. Although I'm more into the modern age, I would certainly appreciate an AI 'heritage flight' to include in one or more airshow traffic projects.

Check the UKMIL website for their Heritage flight aircraft.

It's included in one of their scenery packages, tho' I forget which one. I know it includes a Spitfire as well as 3-5 other WW2 era aircraft.

Also there're a number of CFS port-overs that work in FS9 both as flyables and as limited-LOD ai aircraft.

Some early harriers would be great, the gr.3's and the T.4's ?? or the sea harrier fa.2 and the T.8, sadly no longer in service?

I've always wanted to insert some static displays at my bases. I could probably try my hand at simple models in FSDS or GMAX or something. Once I considered flight planning some old aircraft that would depart around 0200 and return around 0300 and nobody would every know they left their parking spot wherever they may park. A place where I grew up had an ANG and their displays are P-51, F-102, F-106 and F-4D. One day their F-16s will go away and one will be placed out front too.

I asked Nick about these versions when he was in full Harrier production mode, but he said that he had no plans to do them.

Whilst I would go with the adage of 'never say never' I would say that there is virtually no chance of Nick going back to produce these versions.

It takes many months to develop an AI model. I think it would be tough for them to produce a model that would have so little use; i.e., a heritage flight in a package.
