These where the only Mig-21 delivered.

FAPA (Força Aérea Popular de Angola) Mig-21bis Camo
 
A desert skin to use (clash) with SAAF Mirages ....
 
77 historical serial numbers
 
To Install: put included Objects fonder in Your main mods folder SF-2X.
 
 
I hope You like it.
 
Yours

This is an update to the SF2 conversion of Florian's Mirage 2000D started by pablitoVPT and EricJ. This is a complete aircraft. Main reason for this update is a new flight model for hard setting with some minor updated avionics and weapons/loadout. Currently flying it in a merged install SF2E, DEC 2009. Your mileage may vary with other SF2 titles/installs. See the readme for details.
 
Spiff

These are edited stock campaigns to suit the Updated SF2 Desert terrain that I recently released. While the original campaigns would work without much bother, they wouldn't give the benefits of all the additions I made to the 'Desert3' terrain. These include:
 
* All US Navy campaigns being carrier based.
* Players will now have the additional option of flying campaigns for the RAF.
* The two extra Parani airfields in Desert3 are included in these campaign files. Enemy squadrons have been assigned to them.
* The SF2 stock campaign files failed to give the player the benefits of having the option to fly in the new stock aircraft that are now available in SF2. These edited campaign files now include the Hawker Hunter, the F-4M/F-4M_75, the F-105D/D_66 Thunderchief, the A-7 Corsair (USAF/USN) and the Harrier GR.1/GR.3.
 
 
INSTALLATION:
 
Just unzip the RAR file and move the contents of the 'CAMPAIGNS' folder to your SF2 game's 'Campaigns' folder. For those who might be concerned; these new campaign files WON'T overwrite your stock ones.
 
I'm not sure if the CVA-63 and SCB-125 stock carrier models were included with the stock SF2 groundobjects; but if they're not, simply copy those folders from your SF2V/Objects/GroundObject folder. If you don't have SF2V or if you've no wish to get SF2V, please let me know in this release's Support Topic and if there's enough demand for it I'll release these campaigns with land-based USN squadrons.
 
 
Happy flying folks!

Israeli Eagles Pt.2: No. 69 Hammers Squadron (F-15I)
 
This is a small update for Sundowner's F-15I Ra'am skin from the F-15 Super Pack. It replaces the consecutive serial numbers with serial numbers found on the current aircraft of No. 69 Hammers Squadron.
 
INSTALLATION:
Extract the content of the archive and put the Objects folder into your mod folder. When asked to overwrite, press "Yes to all".
 
Have fun!
