Hunters of the IAF
*********************
A delegation from India visited Hawker in the UK in 1956 to consider purchase of either the Hunter F.4 or the F.6. Not surprisingly they chose the F.6, ordering 182 in 1957, including 160 "F.56s" , which were F.6s with cannon muzzle blast deflectors and brake chutes, and 22 "T.66" trainers.
 
The first 16 F.56s were actually F.6s obtained directly from RAF stocks, which were modified to F.56 standard after delivery to India. The remaining F.56s were delivered from Hawker. Initial delivery of the F.56 to India was on 11 October 1957, with the type going into squadron service at the end of the year.By the end of 1961 Indian Air Force (IAF) Hunters were up to strength, equipping seven squadrons. They were generally painted in standard RAF green / dark gray / light gray colors.
 
Indian Hunters are believed to have participated in "Operation Vijay(Victory)" - Liberation of Goa from Portuguese rule in 1961.
 
Indian Hunters saw their first major combat service during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1965, when they were mostly used in the ground-attack role.

Many thanks to Armourdave for making the Hunter F.6 for SF.Thanks also to Sundowner for making an IAF skin for the Hunter.

This is add-on will allow you to fly a historically accurate F-4B from VF-84 Jolly Rogers, during their '65 deployment to Vietnam, aboard the USS INDEPENDENCE.
 
Because so little reference was available, only modex 200, 201,202, 203, 205, 207,208, and 211 are available.
 
This texture requires Third Wire's F-4B Phantom II to work properly.

The skin is for ajunaidr's excellent F-104A Starfighter made using his templates.
Reports from Indian MiG-21-pilots that engaged PAF Starfighters in air combats on 17 December 1971 indicate that the Starfighters wore "desert camouflage". It is now well-known that a number of Starfighters from the No.9 Squadron Royal Jordanian Air Force were sent to Pakistan during this war: some of these aircraft were camouflaged, and it is now believed that the Indians on 17 December engaged these "ex-Jordanian" F-104As, shooting down two of them and one of original PAF Starfighters as well.
 
Many thanks to ajunaidr for making an excellent F-104A model for SF

This is the "infamous" MiG-28 from the Movie TOP GUN. It is a repaint of an F-5A Freedom Fighter. This is for all you Top Gun fans who want to use Swordsman442's Tomcat textures to recreate the dogfight from the movie. ;) Enjoy.
 
NOTE: I realize the MiG-28 was actually an F-5E Tiger II... but I went with the next best thing - the F-5A.
