• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Boeing C-135 pack.

Great package, Thank you. Something to consider, would be nice to also have an older KC-135 with the original (smaller) engines.
 
To accurately simulate the A model, you'd need to have the ability to use water injection for heavy takeoff loads. The J57P-59W turbojets (not fans - there was no bypass) were poor low altitude performers and required augmentation to get heavy loads off the ground. The tank for the water was in a narrow space between the main gear wells. Birds on the alert pad in winter had to have external power running on them any time the weather was below freezing. Heater elements in the tank kept the water from freezing.
