Auto Credit Based on Insertname's Meriam's Lux

Armed with a very early large UHF/VHF radio, the Trident was an updated version of the very capable Lux. The very stable aircraft was originally designed to break many trans-atlantic speed records with its high fuel capacity, but later was re-assigned to Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. The Coast Guard used the Trident as a long range scout that would have no problems transmitting sensitive information across vast distances.
Approach speed: ~110mph.

Much credit to @mikoyanster! Thank you, my friend!

    Thank you very much! I really loved the way my "Meriam's Lux" looked and operated but it was really outdated so we made this one. @BogdanX
