FS2004 Aero Union DeHavilland Caribou

Aero Union-inspired de Havilland DHC-4 Caribou tanker livery brings a credible wildfire air-attack look to FS2004, pairing the operator’s modern colors with STOL utility and optional fire-retardant drop effects. The repaint installs over Mike Stone’s Caribou model and includes matching aircraft configuration entries for an authentic in-sim presentation.

There are no companies that operate the versatile Caribou in their arsenal of tankers. This fictional scheme is what the Caribou may look like if it ever operated for Aero Union in their current colors. Uses Mike Stones model (SCARIBOU.ZIP). By Marshall Carter.

Aero Union does not operate Caribous due to their lack of carrying capacity compared to that of the Lockheed C-130 and P2V-2 Neptunes. I did this because I am interested in Fire Tankers and especially the attractive AU paint schemes.

Now the normal stuff. I am NOT Liable for the damage this may cause to your comp. It left my comp clean and was uploaded clean, so the damage done is not by me.

Just insert the below into your aircraft.cfg file.

description=The DeHavilland-built Caribou transport aircraft was designed with Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) characteristics. It featured a conventional stressed skin construction and had a cantilever -wing with full-span double-slotted flaps with the outer portions acting as ailerons. It was the first DeHavilland Canada aircraft to feature a retractable undercarriage.\n \nThe RCAF initially selected the Caribou to fulfill UN support duties for the Congo purchasing four aircraft along with a range of support equipment. The aircraft were never deployed to the Congo but did see action in an extensive range of UN missions. The Caribou also proved popular with other armed forces such as the United States Army and the Royal Australian and Malaysian Air Forces. The Caribou has seen extensive use as a light tactical transport in a variety of military and now civilian uses. Model by Mike Stone (www.pmstone.com), Textures by Marshall Carter (http://cacpaintshop.tripod.com).

If you want the Fire Retardant effects too, insert this also into your aircraft.cfg.
