EC-121K Warning Star for P3D v4, v5

Originally designed as an early warning aircraft, the WV-2 was officially named the "Warning Star," although "Willy Victor" became the most commonly used name. The WV-2 prototype was based on the original C-69, which later became the prototype model for the Super Constellation 1049. The electronic equipment tested on the PO-1W/WV-1 was used in the WV-2. In 1962, the WV-2s were redesignated as EC-121K and underwent several designation changes due to modifications made to the aircraft. Following the Gulf of Tonkin incident in August 1964, VW-1, the "Early Warning Squadron," was tasked with providing daily early warning coverage from the air in support of combat operations in Vietnam. Bases were initially established at Sangley Point in the Philippines, then transferred to Chu Lai in southern Vietnam, and Danang.
