A-4E (65) Skyhawk, VA-164 'Ghost Riders' Vietnam 1967-1968 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.1
======================================================================================
 
*** SF2V required for A-4E_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
 
The skin represents A-4Es from VA-164 'Ghost Riders' between June 1967 and January 1968 aboard the carrier USS Oriskany in Vietnam.
All BuNo are correct for this squadron, but unfortunately I couldn't find the correct assignment for all modex to BuNo.
 
The plane number 406 (152048) is an early version of the well-known "Lady Jessie", named after Jessie Beck, an owner of a casino in Reno, Nevada by Richard Perry. As a young man, he worked in the casino, they befrieded and he later became her pseudo-adopted son, until he was commissioned in 1957. Part of the training took place at Fallon near Reno and she always took good care of him and his comrades with baskets of goodies. Even after R. Perry was assigned to VA-164, she took care of him and the entire squadron by sending care packages. At some point R. Perry painted "Lady Jessie" on one of the squadrons birds as hommage to Jessie Beck. In October 1967 R. Perry was shot down while on a raid over Haiphong, but Lady Jessie continued her care for the squadron and after that date it was common use to apply "Lady Jessie" on the 401 plane until the decommisioning of VA-164.
 
The interesting story well-written:

BACKGROUND
 
In the end of the 1960s, the HA.210 Hidalgo got outdated due to the appearance of new fighters and weapons. The new Semi-Active Homing-Technology made the Hidalgo a easy target for medium and long-range attacks. A new fighter, able of carrying the allied equivalent, tha AIM-7 Sparrow, was needed. Hispano-Suiza and CASA competed in the production of this new plane.
 
Hispano-Suiza won the competition with the fighter called "Trueno". The design was sleak but robust. The maiden-flight of the plane was on the 21st of January of 1971 and the 111th and 113th squadron were supplied with this plane in December of the same year.

Between 1962 and 1972 the MiG-21F-13 version was manufactured under license by Aero Vodochody, in Czechoslovakia.
Aero Vodochody (then Stredoceské strojírny, n.p.), built a total of 194 planes during this period, under the cover designation article Z-159.
It followed the MiG-15 and MiG-19S built in Vodochody factory from the fifties to sixties.
The sole locally built version of the MiG-21F-13 differed externally from the Soviet-built examples by the solid dural sheet fairing behind the cockpit canopy, as opposed to the transparent one on the original Soviet MiGs.
These machines were built for the Czechoslovak Air Force and also for export (26 EAF; 8 SyAF). The R13-300 engines were imported from the Soviet Union.
 
 
What's in:
 
 
- a new SF-2 plane;

Sea flanker cockpit for SF2
 
well here's another version of the flanker cockpit,just modify some parts for Su-33.
and i believe we have several sea flanker already,but don't know which one you gonna use with this cockpit,
you may need did some of adjustment by your self.
 
After few years,hundred thousand hours hard works and some remod,here's the stuff.it designed for SF2 still you can also put
it in Gen1,but some instruments won't do their job.using in Gen1 is not recommend,well,you know,old engine has lower efficiency
when deal with those high poly model.
 
Model:
the whole thing has more than ten thousand polys,i try to build almost everything in 3d model,switch panel instruments handle etc....
 
Texture:
Spending about a dozen bitmap for those texture,most of the instruments and panel has their own skin.for compatibility all bitmap
been converted into BMP format,which can work in Gen 1&2.
 
Head up display:
the HUD is composed with traditional one which using the avionics.ini and 3d model with cockpit.ini,just like TMF mig-29's pit,
you will lose some part of the HUD when press the Cockit hidden key.
 
 
 
tested environment:
WOE Oct 2008

SF2NA Jul 2013
