I see R Laborie's beautiful bird is only P3Dv2 and nothing found on a search of the net shows any mention of an upgrade to P3Dv4 and only turboprop airlifter in the foreseeable future might be Milviz's forthcoming C-130J, which would be an immediate buy for me.

Recommendations? I want to do some flying into and out of Afghanistan and would like to test a hop from KTCM, Anchorage, Japan (found a nice MAIW airfield) and then to Kandahar.
