Useful info there, Chris.
The C-40 info makes logistical sense although I haven't seen any info on them. Do you have any links for this info and the consolidation of the other types. You never know it might be useful in the future.

Referencing the Combat Aircraft Magazine 2017 USN/USMC Yearbook, then as we are at the end of the FY, googled the C-9s. Key USMC changes, identifying which squadrons will transition to the F-35 next.

Many thanks for that, Chris.
I hope that somebody around here has access to that to try and sort it out as it all comes into play.
Does it say when the C-40s are coming into service?

They were on the FY17 budget, but the info said the C-9 was supposed to remain in service until FY24, so that has changed.

Ok, I don't see a proper forum for this simple question.
Can anyone direct me to the North Island NAS package. I know I had it a while back, but I can's seem to find irt anywhere, in spite of multiple searches here as well as Google.
Thanks,
Andrew

We haven't done a North Island package, but there is North Island Seahawks pack from another developer in our hangar. Did you do a search there?

French Mirage 2000 Parts 1-7
You can remove all Mirage 2000 N from your FS2004.
Au revoir Mirage 2000 "Nucléaire"
Another French iconic fighter aircraft left operational service within the Armée de' L' Air (AdlA, French Air Force). After some thirthy years of flying the Mirage 2000N stood down on 21 June 2018. The 2000N, known of the French nuclear tasking, equipped with the French 5.38 meters long ASMP-A missile, and the one that was flying fast, low and far through enemy territory was formally retired during a ceremony at Base Aerienne 125 Istres on 21 June 2018.
The final N-squadron, EC02.004 La Fayette at Istres was the last unit to fly the type operationally. For the occasion Mirage 2000N 357/125-CO was painted in special colours. The unit had already made a farewell flight among several French bases in April of this year.
The AdlA operated 75 Mirage 2000Ns, eleven aircraft were written-off in accidents.
The squadron will phase out its 2000Ns in the coming months, and on 14 July, during the defile over the Champs-Elysees, Paris (France), will be their very last public appearance when three aircraft will fly behind a tanker. EC02.004 La Fayette will reform at Saint Dizier later this year flying the Rafale B.
Michel Laurent made a video of the retirement, watch this one at

MAIW Belgian Air Force 15th Transport Wing
You can remove the ERJ-145LR CE-04
In early January 2018 the Belgian Ministry of Defence confirmed that the 15 Wing-21 Squadron VIP-fleet has been put up for sale. This fleet consists of a sole Dassault Falcon 900, two Embraer ERJ135LRs and two Embraer ERJ145LRs.
On June 1, 2018 one of the ERJ145LRs, CE04, already made its last flight before being grounded and was noted in storage at Brussels-Melsbroek three days.
The Belgian MoD is considering various options for its VIP-fleet, including selling them off and leasing them back, making use of an outsourced VIP fleet or scrapping the VIP transport capability altogether.
CE04 (c/n 145548) was delivered new from the factory to the Belgian Air Force on January 21st, 2002.
