A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' Vietnam 1966 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.0
===================================================================================
*** SF2V required for A-4C_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
The skin represents A-4Cs from VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' in 1966 aboard the carrier USS Constellation in Vietnam.
BuNo and Modex should be correct for this squadron, with 302 and 307 filled with Numbers that are correct for the squadron, but miss the modex.
According to my sources, modexnumbers 300, 308 and 309 are not used, so in this pack you'll find 301-307 and 311-316.
Some highlights on this skinpack are:
- new Baseskin
- new Decals for nearly everything :)
- optional 'Griffin'-Decal as used on planes aboard USS Coral Sea (just change to commented parts at the end of decals.ini, to have it visible)
- updated data.ini is included, which contains the working canopy (SHIFT+0) and landing light (thanks to Wrench).
Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. copy 'Objects'-folder from the zip to your mods 'Objects'-folder, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'.
3. enjoy!

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:

Strike Fighters 2 Sukhoi-33 model J-15 Flying shark prototype skin only...
SF2 WW2 FAA Seafire Mk.IIIC, 807 NAS, BEIF 10/5/2014
-- Something for the WW2 Fleet Air Arm players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: this is designed for use in a PTO mods folder built from the SF2NA exe, as it has the proper carrier coding. Also, be advised a correct and proper CBI map with the carrier coding is still in the works.*
The package contains a =NEW= skin for Cocas' Seafire Mk.IIIC as issued to Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm squadrons in British East Indies Fleet. If you don't have the aircraft, you can get it at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/15028-sf2-ww2-faa-seafire-mkiiic-pak-by-cocas-aircraft-factory-co/
Skin included in this package is:
Royal Navy:
No. 807 NAS, BEIF, embarked on HMS HUNTER in 1945
The aircraft carries 'standard' SEAC markings for the period. Code and "plane in group" letters (18) are correct for East Indies Fleet use, but I have not found any references if they carried the "D5" code with HUNTER in the Med. Most likely, they did. In that case, a different skin for MTO usage would be needed, and the national markings decals would need replacing. I have included the PSD I used to make the fuselage codes for any other skinners to use for that purpose, or for other FAA aircraft.
All markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Good Hunting!

For those who are Yukiho and Chihaya fans, I present to you the F-15SE Silent Eagle Chihaya and Yukiho skin.
Overview
The F-15SE Silent Eagle is the stealth variant to the F-15E Strike Eagle. This 2-seater multirole aircraft is coated with radar absorbent material to prevent radar energy from redirecting back to enemy radars. The F-15SE features internal weapons bays located at the conformal fuel tanks and canted tail wings to reduce its radar cross section. This plane is aimed for other F-15 users such as Israel, Japan, and Korea.
Backstory
F-15SE Silent Eagle Chihaya Kisaragi and Yukiho Hagiwara skin. With Chihaya's performance and Yukiho's stealth, they make their duet comes to light making this plane a formidable adversary to many of the enemy aircrafts out in the skies. Chihaya's piloting skills from the F-15E guides this plane unleashing its unmatched performance while Yukiho's position as a WSO (Weapon systems officer) and F-117 piloting experience, helps utilize the true potential of the plane's weapon capabilities, and countermeasures.
