NEW RI ANG/NG

[LEBTowerGuy]

A few years ago I did a package for the Rhode Island ANG 143rd AW at Quonset Point, RI. This consisted of both E and J model C-130s. Since BRAC 2005 they have gone to an all J model fleet. So I plan to re-do this package and also include the Army Guard H60s and C-23s as well. I do need a little help verifying the serial numbers of the aircraft. I have no idea if this is an accurate count of unit aircraft, since I gathered these from pictures posted on the internet.

Here is what I have so far for the C-130 serials:

06-1438
06-1437
05-1436
05-1435
02-1434
99-1433
99-1432
99-1431

And here is what I have for the Army 1-126th AVN:

C-23
94-00308
93-01319

UH-60
04-27013
89-26130
86-24530
85-24439
85-24438
82-23730

UH-1
74-22341

Here are the 130s so far, I still need to refine the flight plans, and make some additons to some of the aircraft paints. I also still need to repaint the H-60s and create a hidden AFCAD for them to use the taxiways for landing and takeoffs.

Looking foward to it! It will really help my FlightScenery Rhode Island Quonset Point scenery.

I have done some quick and dirty C-23 repaints for the 1-126th AVN unit. Things are progressing well. Right now I am working on refining the AFCAD that came with the FlightZone01 scenery for the Providence area to reflect the current configuration.

I have managed to progress a bit with the H-60s. It took me most of yesterday to finally get them to show up at all in the sim. I am using Jordan Moores blackhawk model. I am still having a problem with getting the helicopters to move from their spots. I also found some interesting traffic at OQU today, 3 B-1Bs from Dyess were sitting on the ramp, which prompted me to again adjust the AFCAD since the B-1s were parking in the ANG side.

I have finally got the H-60s to takeoff and land from the taxiways without interfering with the fixed wing traffic around the airport. A few questions that I have are:

1. Are there any special routes that the C-130s fly?

2. What are the callsigns of the C-23s, or are they just Guard (like the helicopters)?

I have hung this project up, since MAIW released the Great Lakes package which covers the RING and RIANG, but thank you for the encouragement.
