(16) A-10A's of the 25th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 51st Tactical Fighter Wing Suwon AB, Republic of Korea 1986.
Requires the A-10A and C Thunderbolt II "Warthog" Pack by Spectre8750 located here at CombatACE.
Thanks to Spectre8750, daddyairplanes, Blade, Wrench, and Centurion-1

The 184th TFG operated F-4D's from 1979 till 1990 and was the F-4 Schoolhouse, operating 70 F-4D's in various paint schemes.
This includes (18) different F-4D's wearing the Euro Scheme variations which were seen on the flightline of McConnell AFB during the late 1970's and 1980's.
These were all verified by photos and do not represent a particular year but the entire F-4D Phantom tenure with the 184th. Being a schoolhouse, the 184th had Phantoms in every scheme, some Kansas Phantoms wore them all during their time at the unit while others did not.
Happy Phlying!

Ezer weizman's personal spitfire, 'Black 57' that was used for ceremonies in israel!
To be used on the Spitfire LX .IXc but it might fit on some other spitfire types, haven't tested that really.
Hope you enjoy!

as well as the 76th Fighter Squadron of the 476th Fighter Group
