    2. SF2 Atlas Impala Mk.II Early Skin "Fix It"        3/7/2019
      = For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
      This is a "repair" package for the recently released ATlas Impala Mk.2 by Marcfighters.
      This kit ONLY contains the skin folder "Early". The fuselage and wings have been repainted
      and had the necessary panel lines redrawn to remove the painted on national markings. They
      are now all decals, which are stock in all 3W games (merged).
      The Entire Aircraft package, available below is also getting this patch applied, so if
      you've downloaded the aircraft already, this fix-it kit for YOU. 
      If you haven't downloaded the aircraft, what's stopping you??? :)
      Below is the URL for the full aircraft package (updated)
      https://combatace.com/files/file/16939-sf2-atlas-impala-mkii-by-marcfighters-v2/
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the
      rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
      Happy Landings!

    3. = For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
      This is the release of Marcfighters Atlas Impala Mk.2, single seat COIN/Attack jet as used by the South African Air Force.
      This aircraft has/had languished for a considerable amount of time in that "hangar of forgotten & unfinished mods". I hope that this will correct that.
      This mod represents the Atlas Impala MK2, single seat attack jets. The mod uses all stock 3W weapons (which may need further research/adjustments). 25 all new historically correct SAAF serial number decals are included, and Randomization is TRUE These decals are used for both included skins. This is the SAAF -ONLY-, non exported version. No user list was created; the aircraft is single nation only. There are 2 skins, and "Early" and "Late"; the late uses the SF2-date switch and starts in 1982
      When in-game, you'll see
      Atlas Impala MK.II (MB-326K SAAF)
      on the aircraft drop down selection panel.
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. The Uploader takes NO credit for the aircraft itself, only for those edits and adjustment to get it more in compliance with the SF2 Environment (tm). See "Notes" section for full change log and other VERy important statements.
      = Please Note: is models is released "AS IS". Anything that cannot be corrected/adjusted via ini edits will remain so for all time =
      Happy Landings!

      ** Important Note: if you install this to the Angola Mod, be advised that there exists an aircraft named Impala Mk.II. This should NOT conflict with it, but you may have some editing to do, as theirs is labeled "Stand In". It is not advised to just drop this one into that mod without further editing. **
       
      UPDATED: 3/7/2019
      "Early" skin has been repainted to remove national markings. All have now been replaced with decals.

    4. Lockheed F-104C 'Getti Tonanti' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-104C to create a fictional F-104C of the famous 'Getti Tonanti' aerobatic display team of the Aeronautica Militare who performed at the opening ceremony of the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. The real 'Getti Tontanti' flew F-84F's in 1960 so this is just my interpretation of how the Starfighter might have looked with those distinctive Olympic Rings coloured tails.
      If you haven't got the F-104C then I'm sure you can hack it to fit the F-104G by changing the skin bitmap names, etc.

      BACKSTORY
      Entering service in February 1958 with the 83rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Hamilton AFB, California the F-104A interceptor served only briefly with the USAF Air Defense Command but this was soon followed by the multi-role F-104C which entered service with USAF Tactical Air Command in September 1958 when the 479th Tactical Fighter Wing at George AFB, California began to re-equip with the type. Despite setting a new world altitude record of 103,395 ft (31,515 m) just a few months later in December 1958 the USAF sharply reduced their orders for the F-104 leading Lockheed to urgently seek export orders and they soon gained an export order from the Italian Government in January 1960 for 40 F-104C's for the Aeronautica Militare. 
      With Italy hosting the Olympic Games in the late summer of 1960, the Italian President Giovanni Gronchi personally asked the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower for the earliest possible delivery date as he wanted to use the F-104C's as part of the opening ceremony. Not only did 'Ike' graciously agree but he also authorised the immediate transfer of 10 F-104C's from USAF stocks which were airlifted to Europe during February and March being reassembled at Ramstein Air Base before being flown to Villafranca Air Base by USAF pilots and officially handed over to the 5th Aerobrigata of the Aeronautica Militare. The F-104C's replaced the F-84F Thunderstreaks of the 'Getti Tonanti' aerobatic display team and this elite unit performed a sensational display at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games of the XVII Olympiad held in Rome from August 25th to September 11th, 1960.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104Cgt folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104Cgt folder into your main Decals folder.
      That's it! 
      BTW the mission editor can be used to select all 6 aircraft leaving you to get some formation screenshots taken!

    5. The only foreign buyer of the Panther was the Argentine Naval Aviation, which bought 28 ex-USN F9F-2B aircraft in 1957;
      the first 10 arrived in 1958. Only 24 aircraft were put in service, the rest were used as spares.
      The first flight of an Argentine Panther was in December 1958, and the last aircraft was put in service in January 1961.
      The catapults on the then only Argentine carrier, ARA Independencia, were considered not powerful enough to launch the F9F,
      so the aircraft were land-based. However, in July 1963 a Panther (serial 0453/3-A-119) landed on Independencia as part of trials;
      becoming the first jet to land on an Argentine aircraft carrier.
      Argentine Navy F9F-2 Panthers saw combat in the 1963 Argentine Navy Revolt, bombing and strafing a column of the Army 8th Tank Regiment
      which was advancing on the rebelling Punta Indio Naval Air Base. The attack destroyed several M4 Sherman tanks, at the cost of one F9F Panther shot down.
      The Argentine Panthers were involved in the general mobilization during the 1965 border clash between Argentina and Chile but no combat occurred.
      They were taken out of service in 1969 due to the lack of spare parts and replaced with Douglas A-4Q Skyhawks.
      The Argentine Navy also operated the F-9 Cougar.

    6. HMS Warrior was a Colossus-class light aircraft carrier which was ordered in 1942 by the British Royal Navy during World War II.
      Construction was finished in 1945 and upon completion, the aircraft carrier was loaned to the Royal Canadian Navy from 1946 to 1948 as HMCS Warrior.
      Warrior was returned to the Royal Navy in 1948 and entered service with the British. While in service with the Royal Navy, Warrior was modernised twice,
      including the installation of an angled flight deck in 1956. In 1948–1949, the ship was used in aircraft landing experiments and fitted with a rubber flight deck and in 1957,
      was used as the headquarters ship during nuclear testing at Christmas Island.
      In 1958, the vessel was sold to the Argentine Navy and entered Argentine service in 1959 as ARA Independencia.
      The aircraft carrier remained in service until 1970 when Independencia was placed in reserve. The following year, the ship was sold for scrap.
      WHAT'S IN:
      -a new carrier

    7. The Fletcher class was a class of destroyers built by the United States during World War II.
      The class was designed in 1939, as a result of dissatisfaction with the earlier destroyer leader types of the Porter and Somers classes.
      Some went on to serve during the Korean War and into the Vietnam War.
      The United States Navy commissioned 175 Fletcher-class destroyers between 1942 and 1944.
      After World War II ended, 11 were sold to countries that they had been built to fight against:
      Italy, Germany, and Japan, as well as other countries, where they had even longer, distinguished careers.
      WHAT's in:
      - 15 working destroyer classes SF-2 ready for all around the world scenarios !!!
      - numbers/names decalset for Fletcher

    8. The 18 Forrest Sherman-class destroyers were the first US post-war destroyers
      (DD-927 to DD-930 were completed as destroyer leader configurations).
      Commissioned beginning in 1955, these ships served until the late 1980s.
      Their weaponry underwent considerable modification during their years of service.
      Four were converted to guided missile destroyers.
      This class also served as the basis for the Charles F. Adams-class guided missile destroyer.
      Two ships of the class have become museum ships, nine have been sunk in training exercises,
      and the others have been scrapped or are scheduled to be scrapped.
      CREDITS:
