P3DV4+ P-61 Black Widow Airtanker Pack

P3DV4+ P-61 Black Widow Airtanker Pack 2022-02-04

No permission to download
This pack includes two different aircraft: The P-61B Black Widow and F-15A Reporter converted airtankers.

The Black Widow based airtankers were some of the rarest aircraft to fly as fire bombing aircraft. Only 2 existed and were the only civilian flying versions of the Black Widow. Both airframes served in the 1960s. Sadly, both aircraft were lost in incidents during firefighting missions in 1963 and 1968. Luckily only one of the incidents was fatal, but both aircraft were a total loss. Not much is known about each aircraft as a result. Both aircraft were capable of carrying 1,600 gallons of fire retardant aboard. Despite both aircraft being based upon the P-61 airframe. The F-15A was considerably lighter and faster than the P-61 was. Both aircraft in firefighting duty had been significantly lightened to increase performance. Anything deemed unnecessary for aerial firefighting was removed from the aircraft. Even the supercharger cooling inlet ducts were removed from the bottom of the engine nacelles to save weight. These aircraft were originally created by Dean Crawford, whom gave us permission to modify and create these unique variants. Many thanks to him as the project wouldn't be possible without his consent.

These are only compatible with P3Dv4 and above versions.
