OOC @ France: Israel is right, if you haven't a home-built alternative you can justify buying abroad, like you did with your F-111s. But I you do have a home-built alternative, no way are you gonna buy abroad. Your press would go bananas. Israel is also correct that this is primarily aimed at rebuilds of current F-15 fleets, operated by myself, Israel, Japan and Saudi Arabia, though we can export it if one wants them.

OOC @ Saudi: Talk to Israel, he's helping develop it. If its OK with him, I won't object, and we'll start converting your older F-15s.

To all OOCers: Get off of my development thread! :P

The U-2Y is also carrier-capable, and may be used from US Navy aircraft carriers if the need arises.

The C-33 Supercontinental is a commercial Boeing 747-400 airliner, with upgrades and modifications to make it function as effective personnel transport for the United States armed forces. The C-33 is expected to serve in units which require fast transportation arrangements which may not be possible with airliners leased from civilian airlines. The C-33 is capable of paratrooper drops, thanks to specially-designed weapons racks and gear storage facilities, and two large, hydraulically-operated doors in the tail, as well as modifications to raise the tailplanes 36 inches in order to make sure that nobody jumping out of the airplane hits the tailplanes. All aircraft will be converted from existing Boeing 747-400s.
