Joint Strike Fighter Platforms - F/A-24 & A/V-24
--------------------------------------
The JSF files here will add/replace the plane ID306 and ID307 in your copy of  HUD.  You'll need to load 
the aircraft TPF's and  Engine TPF (The engine TPF replaces engine ID 747 in the database).  You will 
need to load the text description found in jsf.txt into text description ID 100, and load jsf.pcx into picture 
description ID 5.  You will also need to edit the Alpha Jets (ID's 65 & 263) to have no text description and no picture description.

Text Description
-----------------
The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), designated F/A-24 here, will replace the USAF F-16 and the USMC AV-8 
Harriers, will replace the Harriers in service with the United Kingdom and will complement the USN 
F/A-18's.  It is expected to be heavily exported as an F-16 replacement.  
  
The fighter will come in 3 varieties  with a 90% commonality of parts.  All will be supersonic aircraft.  
The Navy derivative will be structurally stronger for carrier operations.  The Marine variety will be a 
VSTOL aircraft.  All are expected to provide 33% more unrefueled combat radius, 33% more agility, 25% 
more accelleration and 15% more "G" turning capabilities than aircraft they are to replace.  All will allow 
for a 15-18000 lbs ordinance payload, and 16000 lb fuel payload.
