1975年2月8日,澳大利亚皇家空军首架CT-4A(A19-027),从汉密尔顿飞至威廉镇,这架飞机于1月15日在班斯敦正式被澳大利亚皇家空军接收。每架RAAF CT-4均携带有长程油箱,穿越塔斯曼海峡、诺福克和豪勋爵群岛抵达澳大利亚。大部分交付飞行由新西兰航空航天工业公司首席飞行员克里夫·泰特执行,在其自传“Water Under My Wings”中,讲述了驾驶这架单引擎飞机跨洋飞机时的挑战和孤独。首批交付的CT-4A用于教练员改驾,1975年底,RAAF第一训练学校发布了该机的第一个基础课程。1975年期间,参与飞机研发和发展科目的CT-4于北部领土凯瑟琳附近的廷达尔(Tindal),完成了热天气性能试验。
I purchased the earlier version of this product and was extremely disappointed in it. Having flown the CT4A in real life, I was excited at the possibility of recreating some old experiences. But it didn't come close. The flight model was okay but way overpowered, the VC was substandard and the instrumentation was not remotely anything like the real aircraft. Frankly, as freeware I would rate it about average - as payware it didn't come close to current standards. This new release may be better and the screen shot of the 3D cockpit does show significant improvement, but the screen shot of the VC does not encourage me to want to risk some more money on something I removed from my hard drive after a few hours.
