This package contains modified models of the freeware released Aeroplane Heaven B-17s and modified with their permission to create a number of civilianized firefighting B-17 models.
The B-17s served from the 1960s until the 1980s and flew with a number of operators and tank designs. Ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 gallon retardant tanks. Most of the B-17s flying today were firebombers at some point in the not so distant past. The B-17s like many other converted aerial firefighting aircraft served longer as firebombers and some several decades longer than they did in their past military bomber/transport configurations. Proving to be a very underappreciated and underrepresented large portion of most of these aircraft's history.
Operators represented in this package include Aero Union, Evergreen International, Black Hills Aviation, Globe Air Inc., and TBM Inc.
Aircraft are compatible in both FSX and P3D.
However, FSX users will need to modify the aircraft to better suit their sims.
