My main contribution to this is the decals. The skin is a combination of two original skins by Gramps.

This is a fix for F-4E serial numbers used by TAC when deployed to Southeast Asia in 1972-73. The first two digits are the Fiscal year of manufacture, unlike PACAF's system of dropping the first digit of the serial number.
 
Just drop these into the objects-decals folder and over-write the old files.
 
In addition, new TGA files are supplied for TAC F-4Ds of the 49th TFW from Holloman which deployed to Takhli RTAFB. These aircraft had serial numbers in all white and were of a split-stencil style. The new F-4D decals.ini has these at the bottom of the list with "HO" after the serial number. All 20 listed aircraft actually flew with theone of the four squadrons of the 49th at Takhli with "HB", "HC", "HD" and "HE" tailcodes, then all recoding at Takhli to "HO" codes in mid-1972.
 
Sorry for the mistake,

Night Owl 497th TFS F-4D textures Version 2
 
This is a small add-on for the stock Wings over Vietnam F-4D (that I forgot I did). Although done before in several nice packages packages (one by Sundowner available here and one available through a Yankee Air Pirate mission set) these textures are all black-belly Night Owl birds from the 497th TFS, 8th TFW at Ubon RTAFB, Thailand which match my other F-4 texture packages, and of course all are actual serials from photos. The previous version had some missing files - my apologies to all.
 
The LORAN airplanes require the mod created for Yankee Air Pirate, with a slight ini tweak as sent to me by Sundowner, so I cannot include it here.
 
As usual, drop the folder into your F-4D folder and fly.
 
Enjoy,
Mike Druzolowski

This is a decaled 512 skin. I'm still working on my 2048 version.
 
All of the tail numbers are correct for the squadron. For every tail number listed, I have a picture of that aircraft with the Redhawks.
 
In the tail number list, you will find asterisks behind some numbers. Each asterisk is a Mig kill that that aircraft actually had.
 
I've also included a hanger screen from a picture I took during a base visit to the Portland Air National Guard Base back when I was in AFROTC.
 
Don't forget to add:

This is a fix for the decal splashing that is occurring underneath the fuselage of the Razbam A-6A when any of my Marine decal mods are installed. I made the fuselage star and bar as a painted-on marking on the fuselage .bmp texture, and made the MARINES decal smaller. The star appears a bit fuzzy now (as many folks like when markings are painted on the texture), but the odd splashing that was appearing underneath the rear fuselage are gone.
 
I also tweaked the fuselage textures a bit here and there. Back up your old files in case you don't like this fix.
