    2. Grumman F-14A Tomcat - Ejercito del Aire
      This is a 'what if' F-14A Tomcat in service with the Ejercito del Aire with markings for 121, 122 and 123 Escuadrons of 12 Ala (12th Wing). The EDA 'Iberian Camo' is actually the stock Iranian Air Force skin by Column5 and Sundowner and it really does suit the Ejercito del Aire markings - especially if you use gepard's superb Israel 2 terrain (recommended).
      BACKSTORY
      By the late 1970's the Phantom F-4C's of 12 Ala (12th Wing) were becoming increasingly long in the tooth and the Ejercito del Aire urgently sought a replacement. McDonnell Douglas appeared to have the upper hand with no less than three products on offer;
      The F-4E Phantom (still in low-rate production).
      The F-15C Eagle.
      The F/A-18A Hornet.
      However, during 1978 the situation in Iran was becoming increasingly unstable and by January 1979 the Shah of Iran had fled in exile. An immediate arms embargo to Iran soon followed and Grumman were left with a considerable number of undelivered and now undeliverable Iranian F-14A Tomcats.
      A formal approach to Spain was made by Grumman and agreement was soon reached for the supply of 30 F-14A's to replace the Phantom F-4C's of No.121 and No.122 Escuadrons with a small follow-on batch of 10 F-14R's to supplement and eventually replace the RF-4C's of No.123 Escuadron. The F-14A Tomcat gave good service to the Ejercito del Aire before being phased out during 2009 and replaced by Boeing Hornet F/A-18F's.
      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-14A_EDA folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-14A_EDA into your Decals folder.
      I've simplified this download by reverting to stock items so now go and fly the Tomcat in Ejercito del Aire markings!

    4. SF2 A-4B Skyhawk VA-95 Det Q Skin/Decals Pack              2/15/2018
      = For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
      *Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B*
      A new skin for the A-4B Skyhawk. Also included, are a modified Data and loadout inis, correcting/adding to the Mission tasking loadouts, Player operated manual canopy, and the landing light.
      The skin included is for:
      VA-95, Det.Q
      embarked aboard USS BENNINGTON (CVS-20) circa 1964/64, in the Western Pacific
      When in-game, on the skin selection dropdown panel, you'll see:
      VA-95 Det Q (CVS-20,1964)
      Skins remain in their "as issued via 3W" stock bmp format. Most markings are decals, excepting certain color tags or other markings on the rudder   These had to be painted on due to number-of-decals-per-mesh restrictions. There are 10 Modex and serial numbers (BuNums). All BuAerNums ARE historiclly correct; but not all could be matched to their corresponding Modex. 
       
      Historically speaking, these A-4 squadrons (and/or detachments) were assigned to the Essex class carriers that had been convered to "CVS" or anti-submarine warfare carriers. The Skyhawks embarked were not only tasked with light strike, but Combat Air Patrols to protect the ship and the ASW assets.
      The canopy uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.
      When in-game, on the skin selection dropdown panel, you'll see:
      VA-93 Det Q (CVS-20,1964)
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... 
      Happy Landings!

    5. This is a simple skin mod for the F-111A to give an RAF machine with markings for No.6 squadron.

      Just pop this skin in your F-111A folder and go save Dhimari.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. Drop the skin folder '6RAF' into your F-111A folder.

    6. Hawker Hunter FGA.9, No.8 Squadron, Royal Air Force for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
      This is a quick decal conversion of the sublime Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to enable you to fly a No.8 squadron machine.
      This will only work in Wings Over Europe but you can, of course, also make it work in the other Third Wire 'Series One' games by extracting and exporting all of the relevant files. Since originally releasing this I've added Syrinx's fuselage serial numbers for the Hunter and included a nice loading screen and tweaked the hangar screen to give it 1960's three colour roundels.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9 into your Decals folder.

      CREDITS
      Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
      Thanks to former member Syrinx for making the fuselage serial numbers.
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    7. McDonnell Douglas Hornet F.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
      This is a 'what if' RAF Hornet F.2 interceptor with markings for No.5 squadron of the Royal Air Force.
      Erwin_hans was good enough to release a blank skin so it was a easy to knock-up an RAF Superbug. This is a fine add-on aircraft for 'Strike Fighters 1' and 101tfs and Erwin_hans have created a true masterpiece  - one of the very best add-ons available and I'd like to thank them for their hard work in bringing this aeroplane to us. Please note that in this revision I've simplified the effects and sounds to use stock files and you'll want to change the loadout.ini to suit the weapons you've got as, again, I've left it to stock.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HORNETF2 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HORNETF2 into your Decals folder.
      P.S. Remember to set your Single Mission EndYear=2010,2020,2040 or whatever in your Options.Ini!

      CREDITS
      Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
      Thanks to 101tfs and Erwin_hans for creating the first F/A-18F.
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    8. Republic Aviation Thunderstreak FGA.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
      This is a 'what if' Thunderstreak FGA.2 with markings for No.31 squadron in a SEA Camo by whiteknight06604.
       
      Regarding the Thunderstreak in RAF service then there is no backstory but perhaps the UK needed some muscle when the Supermarine Swift started going pear-shaped!

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the THUNDERSTREAKFGA2 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the THUNDERSTREAKFGA2 folder into your main Decals folder.
      Please note that I've simplified things by using the stock F-105 tanks.

      CREDITS
      Special thanks to the guys listed below - great work and especially the flight model!
      Thanks to whiteknight06604 for the SEA Camo for his Greek F-84F.
      Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
