A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category P3D / P4D Add-Ons - Civilian aircraft

Description: With the permission of Aeroplane Heaven I have created the C-119 airtankers equipped with the Steward-Davis Jet Pack modification package. The modified aircraft has the Westinghouse J34 turbojet engine affixed to the top of the fuselage. The addition is not merely cosmetic, the jet engine has it's own sounds and can be controlled independently of the radial engines. A replica throttle quadrant has also been added for the SD Jet Pack on the overhead panel in the VC. In addition to the J34 and added performance of the turbojet engine, I have also added a second "long nose" variant. In the real world the C-119 Jet Pack equipped aircraft flew largely as airtankers in the United States from the early 1970s until 1987 when the fleet was permanently grounded. The addition of the J34 to the aircraft boosted the C-119s MTOW from 74,000lbs to 78,000lbs and gave the aircraft much better performance as an airtanker. The airtankers routinely operated with 18,000lbs of retardant from hot, high density altitude airports in the Southwestern United States primarily. 2 primary operators of the C-119 Jet Pack Tankers existed. Hemet-Valley Flying Service and Hawkins & Powers. Aero Union did operate a small number of SD Jet Pack C-119s briefly before selling those aircraft to HVFS. HVFS T-82, 86 and H&P T-135, and 137 are included in this package. This package is only compatible in P3Dv4+. This is based upon the recently released freeware AH C-119, and is the entire aircraft.
