TRA B-57B
13.83Mb

This is a conversion of the AlphaSim (now Virtavia) Martin B-57B to CFS2. She is armed with 4x20mm cannon and two bomb payloads, 13xMk84 Salvo and 13xMk84 Paired. US Modern Weapons pack included. The aircraft comes with 5 texture sets, of which texture.1 (Cold War Non-Camo) and texture.3 (SEA) are the most attractive (just my opinion). The CFG file is set to texture.1 by default. The textures are the originals from AlphaSim. Modifications to the MDL, CFG, AIR, and DP are mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Martin B-57 Canberra was a United States-built, twin jet engine light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, which entered service with the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1953.

The B-57 was initially a version of the English Electric Canberra built under license. However, the Glenn L. Martin Company significantly modified the design and produced several unique variants.

The world's last two remaining flight worthy WB-57s reside at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX as high altitude scientific research aircraft.

During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the PAF again made use of the B-57. On the very first night, 12 IAF runways were targeted and a total of 183 bombs were dropped. As the war progressed, PAF B-57s carried out many night missions. There was a higher attrition rate than in 1965, with at least five B-57s being put out of service by the end of the war.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_B-57_Canberra#cite_note-B-57_with_Pakistan-16 They were retired from service in the PAF in 1985.

Viet Nam

Whoa, skipped a bit there. She served extensively in Viet Nam flying not only recon and electronic warfare, but extensive bombing campaigns on the trail. Checkout the 'Doom Pussies' flying out of Thailand. The RAAF also operated the Canberra in Viet Nam.
