Hispano-Suiza HA.210 Hidalgo (Nobleman) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Quad-Merged)
 
I modded the stock MiG-17F from SFP:I to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the spanish air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
 
The HA.200 Saeta, the precessor of the Hidalgo, was Spains first real jetfighter. But it didn't have enough power to stand a dogfight. So it was degraded to a trainer for the spanish piloting school.
 
While trying to improve the plane and creating the HA.220 Super Saeta, another team of Hispano-Suizas R&D department was involved in the planification and construction of a plane able to be some worthy opponent in close dogfights.
 
Three years later, the Hidalgo did it's maiden flight. The US was shocked about the capabilities of this tiny plane.
Spain used this plane for long time, offering US-pilots a chance to test their dogfighting skills in their F-86 Sabres. The plane presented here was part of the Ala 6.

SAAB J-35P Dragão (Dragon) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Merged)
 
I modded the fictional F-13 Draken from Spinners to make it look like a fictional fighter and recon plane for the portuguese air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
The original intention of the portuguese government was to equip 2 entire squadrons, the 201st and the 301st, with F-16. After another evaluation of the financial capabilities, one squadron could not be equipped with the Falcon.
 
Saab, having just signed the contract with Mitsubishi for the licensed Draken, also offered Portugal the option for the license of this plane. After doing some calculation, Portugal decided not to buy the license, but to equip the 301st sqaudron with an adapted Draken, which was then called "Dragão".

[Fictional] C-24 / C-24B Super Hornet
 
This is a mod of the Super Hornets E and F from EricJ to make them look like planes from the spanish air force.
 
BACKGROUND:
In 2010, command of the EDA asked for the possibility of replacing their EF-18As and Bs with the more advanced E and F versions. Diplomacy made it possible that the Obama administration would take the old planes back and make a special offer. In 2012, the first squadrons received the new planes. Since the former Hornets wore the designation "C-15", the Super Hornets ought to have been designated C-15VA and CB-15VA, but these designations were too long so the Super Hornets were then called "C-24".

Dassault-Breguet Sagette (Arrow) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Europe or Merged)
 
I modded the stock MiG-21SM from SFP:E to make it look like a fictional fighter for the french air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
 
After the retirement of the Farandole II, several french fighter wings got the Mystere IVA. Complaints about lacking engine power and fire power led to the development of the Sagette, which was a more versatile and powerful fighter, easy to fly and and with reasonable armament. This plane entered active service in 1971, replacing the Mystere IVA.
 
This plane was also able to carry the new R530 IR and radar guided missiles, which gave the plane even more firepower.

This is a mod of the Super Hornet F from EricJ to make it look like a plane from the israeli air force.
 
BACKGROUND:
In the final years of the first decade of the 21st century, Israel decided to replace their F-16C and D-Models (Barak) with a new type of fighter/bomber.
The only really fitting model for type of missions was the FA-18 Super Hornet.
 
The decision of either taking the E or F-model was decided in favor of the F-model due to the fact that two crewmembers would bring a better performance during the missions. The squadrons of the IAF equipped with the adapted Version, the Akav, were the 116th Squadron "Defenders of the South" and the 140th Squadron, "The Golden Eagle".

In exchange for the losses, both civil and military, during the second Iraq war, Spain received the opportunity of buying planes with stealth technology for a lower price. Together with the F-35E 'Lobo' (Wolf) for the 8th escuadrilla, Spain acquired 18 A/F-24 which made service in the 9th escuadrilla. All these planes were bought and put into service in 2004.

This is a mod of TMF's F-14B (96) to make it look like a multirole aircraft from the israeli air force.
 
BACKGROUND:
Being impressed of the interception capabilities of the F-14 combined with the AIM-54 Phoenix, the IDF decided to order themselves a modified version of the F-14B, the bombing capable version of the Tomcat. Modifications were performed by IAI. The modifications also needed the AIM-54C to be modified.
 
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the national arms manufacturer, created, based on the construction plans of the Phoenix, the 'Serpent' LRAAM, which design was identical to the Phoenix but with israeli electronics inside. The missile was extensely tested over the mediterranean sea and proofed to be equal to the AIM-54 concerning performance, reliability and accuracy. Primary role was the interception of incoming enemy planes from seaside long before reaching the coast and secondary role was Strike and Anti-Ship-Missions.
 
Two squadrons got equipped with the 'Peten':
The Valley Squadron (109th) grey camo
Flying Dragon Squadron (115th) desert camo

This is a mod of the JAS-39C from the Gripen Team to make it look like fighterplane from the japanese air self defense force.
 
BACKGROUND:
After having had good experiences during the first joint venture between SAAB and Mitsubishi and the high grade of acception of the japanese Draken by the JASDF-Pilots, the ministry of defense initiated a new joint venture. The swedish Gripen was now to be "nipponized". Pilots of the JASDF went to Sweden to fly the Gripen and push her to the limit, testing her capabilities. The Pilots were amazed how easy it was to fly the Gripen.
 
Back in Japan, the Pilots reported their experiences to their superiors what led to an order of 120 planes, mainly single-seater. The first planes arrived during the first months of 2006, were they had to undergo changes in electronics, adapting them to japanese JASDF-Standards. The 8th Hikotai and the 305th Hikotai were the first squadrons receiving the Gripen. This plane was the first wearing the new JAMPAT-Camo in service.
