Looking for The Hongdu JL-8 Jet Trainer

[Flyboy208]

This aircraft I believe was originally done by GMAX Academie, but I cannot find it anywhere on the net ...

That JL-8 looks amazingly like a T-45/Hawk. An example of form and function or an example of "instead of designing our own stuff, let's just steal a design from a proven plane flown by other nations"?

Too bad the package is not readily available from the main download libraries. Would be nice to check that bird out.

They are very different. I saw a wooden mockup of it when I visited Nanchang Aircraft Factory (today Hongdu) in 1987. Similar requirements, similar aircraft!

Here is me at Hongdu...

The guy at the left was the father of Q-5 and JL-8, a fantastic designer and a good drinker!

That string didn't find it on flightsim, but I finally found it:

Don't know if it's of any interest but I found a sound pack of the engine that works better for me after seeing one at a airshow here in south Africa recently.
