Hawker Hunter FR.13 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Hawker Hunter FGA.9 to give a fictional Hawker Hunter FR.13 fighter-reconnaissance aircraft as it might have appeared in service with the Royal Air Force during the 1960's to early 1970's period. Of course during this time the RAF did successfully operate the Hunter FR.10 in the fighter-reconnaissance role but I'm unable to replicate the nose camera (with the eyelids) and the side cameras so this FR.13 just has side cameras reproduced by using a simple 'camera port' decal. Anyway, 'what if' markings are included for;
No.2 Squadron in standard RAF Camo.
No.79 Squadron in standard RAF Camo.
No.208 Squadron in Desert Camo to reflect that squadrons long associations with the Middle East.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Hunter13 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Hunter13 folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Aero  L.23 'Furball' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:EUROPE
This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Dassault Super Mystere to give a very fictional Aero L.23 (NATO codename 'Furball') with markings for the Czechoslovak Air Force, the East German Air Force and also for the Polish Air Force - all within a 1958 to 1981 timeline. The markings are pretty generic and I've used stock Third Wire serials and numbers lists.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Aero_L23 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Aero_L23 folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!

This revised upload now includes additional bonus skins for three 'what if' NATO Vampire operators.

Version 2 - October 13th, 2023
 

Echoes Across the States: KC-135E Stratotanker's First 15 Years
This skinpack is a remod of the TMF KC-135E done years ago. While utilizing the same model, it now features a greatly improved texture set, ini performance enhancements and each of the skins is researched to be as accurate as is possible with current knowledge.

        Included *
two KC-135E versions, (82) and (92)
sixty (yes 60!) skins between the two versions. most Shamu based skins also feature nose arts
Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable
drogue "weapon", addable in the loadout screens

    Required
a legal functioning install of any SF2 version
    Installation
unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
    Known Issues
-This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
- Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds
- dont manuever aggressively. aggressive manuvering will cause a deep stall. its a huge pain to recover from as a player (firewall the throttle, set flaps to landing, yank stick back and hold). any AI wingmen wont make it trying to follow you
