In the 1980s, 12 BAE Hawk T.Mk. 60/60As were purchased for the Air Force of Zimbabwe; the purchase was supported by a GB £35 million loan from the UK to Zimbabwe. The Hawk deal also included the transfer of a number of second-hand Hawker Hunters. In July 1982, at least one Hawk was destroyed on the ground and three more heavily damaged during a dissident attack on Thornhill air base, Gweru.
Zimbabwe's Hawks were used during the Second Congo War. Numerous airstrikes were conducted in support of the Congolese Army against Rwandan, Ugandan and rebel forces in 1998–2000. In 2000, the controversy over Zimbabwe's military intervention in the Congo and poor human rights record led to Britain imposing a total arms embargo on the nation, including spare parts for the Hawk. Due to the embargo, Zimbabwe has purchased six Chinese Hongdu K-8s as a substitute.

I hope that at last we will have a South African terrain to play with .....

A companion mod to Operation Nordic Storm (Nordic Storm is not required to play this). This is a pack of 19 single missions designed and written to form a slightly branching campaign experience with the aid of an included briefing book to guide you through the process. I've been frustrated by SF2's campaign mechanism and wanted to put out mission packs that tell a bit more story and are a bit more immersive in nature, rather than letting the game's campaign code just generate mission after mission with no real sense of continuity or panache.
 
The mission pack is basically the land war happening in Germany before, during, and slightly after the events of Operation Nordic Storm. It's still WWIII in Europe, essentially, set in 1991. The premise is based on Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising", and although it doesn't follow it exactly, much of the scenario driven verbage in the briefing book will be familiar to fans of the novel.
 
A full explanation of all facets of the mod is included in the 'README first!' file in the zip file. That is the place to start for a full description of the mission pack, as well as information on required and recommended mods needed to play. None of the required mods were altered in any way by me, and all credit and kudos go to the mod authors for their work.
 
The War Plan Tripwire Briefing Book is included in the zip file in .pdf format. You'll need adobe acrobat reader in order to use the briefing book- I don't expect that will be a big issue for anyone here. The briefing book is what allows you to play a string of 'single missions' as a branching 'campaign,' as well as go beyond the game's often-simplistic definitions of success and failure for various mission types. A full explanation on the use and purpose of the briefing book is included in the WPT README file.
 
Upcoming projects similar to this one will include a short conflict fought between China and Japan over some territorial rights, and a fictional future conflict involving the US and an Iran deeply in cahoots with the Russians. Enjoy!

In January 1978, Britain and Finland announced a deal to in which the Finnish Air Force was to receive 50 Hawk Mk. 51s in 1980; these aircraft were built in Finland under licence by Valtion lentokonetehdas. The Finnish Air Force was limited to 60 first-line fighter aircraft by the Paris Peace Treaty of 1947; by acquiring Hawks, which counted as trainers rather than fighters, capacity could be increased while continuing treaty compliance. These conditions were nullified at the break-up of the Soviet Union.
Seven additional Mk. 51As were delivered in 1993–94 to make up for losses. In June 2007, Finland arranged to purchase 18 used Hawk Mk. 66s from the Swiss Air Force for 41 million euros; they were delivered in 2009–2010. Finnish Hawks have reportedly been armed with Russian Molniya R-60/AA-8 air-to-air missiles. The Finnish Air Force aerobatics team, the Midnight Hawks, also uses the aircraft.
Due to rising levels of metal fatigue, 41 out of 67 in Finland's total Hawk fleet will be taken out of service between 2012–2016; the remaining aircraft are younger and thus are expected to be flying into the 2030s.In 2011, Finnish Mk. 51s and Mk. 66s underwent upgrades, including a new Patria Cockpit 2000 glass cockpit and new software.

Canadair Sabre Mk.6 AMI NM Skinpak 9/21/2014
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
 
This package is designed for use on the Sabre 6 Pak available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13497-sf2-canadair-sabre-mk6-rcaf-and-ami/
 
You'll need to have the above listed aircraft to add this skin pak to.
 
This package contains 2 new skins, in Natural Metal ™, representing the following units as first delivered to the AMI:
 
2 Aerobrigata (8 Gruppo)
 
4 Aerobrigata (Cavallino Rampante)
 
Included are updated texture set inis for the 2 AMI Euro camo skins, adding the "Start Default Date" SF2 switch, that will (hopefully!) turn on the camo skins in 1959 (best guess date). They have also had the "displayed name" changed, so you'll see, for example, either
 
2 AeB (NM)
or
2 Aeb (Camo)
 
Making it easier to select.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Happy Landings!

Hi pilot!
 
For your Cold War games I have remade (original was for SF1)
two skins representing 9aircraft of the Luftstreitkräfte (of the DDR);
a silver one (standard) and a camouflaged one. The serials are the
correct ones for the normal bomber version.
Note! The included camouflage skin was only applied on ONE
LSK Il-28, being number 208. Nonetheless I have included it
with ability to carry all numbers.
Drag and drop in your SF folder.... ready!
 
Hope you like it!

PS Thanks TW for an excellent Soviet dump truck!

Skin of a Tupolev Tu-22P Blinder-E of the 341st TBAD, Strategic Air Force.
Particular aircraft flew in this livery in Afghanistan between
October 1988 and January 1989.
 
This skin is meant for the standard TW Tu-22, although with a bit of renaming it
can easily be used for all variants except the swingwing Ms.
 
I hope this skin gives the boring silver Blinders a bit more oomph. Just drop the
objects folder in your standard SF2 folder.
 
Enjoy!
