FRCA in FD

[jabba]

Thanks for the comments folks!

...I also don't know if it's worth the expense of having A-2-A refueling capability, they're already capable of trans-Atlantic on a full load.

It's my understanding that those capable of it generally have said capability to top themselves up... Which in itself seems a weird practice.

Look at the refuelling flight plans for the missions that bear our friends username: Black buck!

Antonov An-12

Imported during the sixties, replacing older ex-WWII transport aircraft.


40th Air Transport Wing, 1970


Licence-built An-12 built to FRCA requirements, obvious changes are stretched fuselage, redesigned tail section, new radar and PW150 Engines.

You sure PW150s are big enough? That's a C-130 class aircraft and PW150s are for puddle jumpers.

No, no I'm not!

Edit, on checking again... (only Wikipedia mind you)

Ivchenko AI-20
Maximum power output: 3,149 kW(take-off),
1,938 kW (max cruise)

PW 150A

Huh, the PW150 and the Ailsons on the C-130 are in the same power class.

Very nice.
Btw. You can add Yourself to credits in An-12.

*Wondering about a Q-5 with something like EL/M-2001 or a similar-sze weapons system as an update*

[jabba]

Y'know, Jabba, you can use my Cessna-Embraer COIN aircraft...

Yarp...

[nighthunter]

She looks good!

This one's just for fun.
