AIR SERVICES AUSTRALIA IAI ASTRA V1.0

Original aircraft by Eric Johnson,
Repainted by Philip Cook.

This aircraft is used for calibrating navaids and is 
the first Astra in Australia. ASA is the Australian
equivalent of the FAA.

The flight model is for FS5, but it can be converted for
use with FS95 or FS98 using the Microsoft converters.

    This is an IAI 1125 Astra. The Astra is essentially the nose and
tail of the IAI 1124A Westwind 2 joined with a new center section that
incorporates a supercritical swept wing. This combined with the very
efficiant TFE731-3A-200G's give the 1125 a 600 nm range advantage over
the Westwind 2. The Astra was first flown in 1984. 

  Installation:

    copy astra.af0-7 to your /textures directory
    copy astra.air to your /pilots directory

    astra.afx is included if you want to modify the plane yourself
    astrapcx.zip contains the .PCX files for textures.

    The author wishes to thank Mike Vidal for lending his magic touch
to the flight model.

    This is FREEWARE. So don't make any money with this. All I ask
is that this archive is kept intact when uploading to other services.

me know. Encouragement will make me do more!
