More good news from this thread. It has come to my intention that Lockheed are planning to factory fit fuel tank protection to J Hercs. Block 8/9 onwards. Not foam, OBIGGS. Inert gas system. This will increase fuel capacity and hence range. I have heard talk that foam(2/3% reduction fuel cap) can cause probs on Lye Akr legs.
This is great news, a manufacturer has moved before Govts. It further shames Govt's like our own, which routinely sends aircraft of all types into war without fuel tank protection.
Looks like we keep this campaign going....
