North American F-108 Rapier [#] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XF-108 "The North American XF-108 Rapier was a proposed long-range, high-speed interceptor aircraft designed by North American Aviation intended to defend the United States from supersonic Soviet bombers. To limit development costs, the program shared engine development with the North American XB-70 Valkyrie strategic bomber program, and used a number of elements of earlier interceptor projects. The program had progressed only as far as the construction of a single wooden mock-up when it was cancelled in 1959, due to a shortage of funds and the Soviet's adoption of ballistic missiles as their primary means …

Recommended additions to aircraft loadouts... Bell 205 -- add the 1 x Generic Squad loadout (this is the civilian version of the UH-1 so it should have room for that many troops) Bell 214 -- add the 1 x Generic Squad loadout Bell 214ST -- add the 1 x Generic Squad loadout ANW HUD-4 v1.2

Ilyushin Il-14 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-14 Another widespread aircraft (more than 3,000 built) that might be included in the database. Not a critical need--again, I'm just posting things as I find them so I don't forget--but an interesting plane and perhaps useful for some scenarios. I don't know if was designed with paratroopers in mind or if it was simply a transport. ANW HUD 4 v1.1b9

Airbus A330https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A330 "The Airbus A330 is a wide-body twin-engine jet airliner made by Airbus, a division of EADS.
