Background****************************************
 
From ACIG.org: "Namely, one of the RLAF T-28 pilots at the time – and one described by the US
instructors as the “most aggressive” of all – was Lt. Chert Saibory, a former RTAF-pilot, who
defected to Laos in 1960. Chert initially offered his services to Kong Le, but was turned down.
Remaining in Vientianne, Chert then joined the RLAF - once Gen. Phoumi returned to power - and
flew many combat sorties but was never promoted in rank. For unclear reasons, in September 1963
Chert decided to defect once more and during an airshow that was to be staged over Savannakhet
he flew his T-28 away from the rest of formation – to North Vietnam. Instead of commissioning
him in their air force the North Vietnamese imprisoned Chert: several months later his T-28 was
refurbished and – serialled “963”, in commemoration of the date when it was acquired – became
the first fighter aircraft of the Vietnam People’s Air Force (VPAF)."

Pilots Nguyen Van Ba and Le Tien Phuoc flew it to shoot down a US C-123 over Laos in 1964.
 
This skin was painted using a single profile as a reference, some artistic license was used for
the rest of the airframe.
This mod features a modded data.ini file, that is using VPAF pilots, and a modded loadout.ini
file, that is using soviet ammo.

SF2 VF-114 F-4B (65) Phantom Skin/Decal Pack by Mytai         9/4/2019
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) and/or SF2:V =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the F-4B_65 which is stock in all merged installs, excepting SF2:I (well, actually it's probably there as well!). 
This a new build of Mytai01's 1stGen skin for VF-114 Aardvarks durning 1965/66 Southeast Asia cruise about USS Kittyhawk as part of CVW-11 (tail code NH). This is within the time frame of the camo experiments the USN was conduction, as many of the aircraft aboard were using this 2-tone green camo. Records seem to indicate VF-114 did not. The aircraft remains in the standard Gull Gray/White scheme. With this skin set, you should have all the strike/fighter/attack aircraft of CVW-11 for this cruise.
The skin is in jpg format, 2048x, from Sundowner's templates. Mytai's original decal have been 'refershed' to remove any oddites or edge 'ghosting'. Decal randomization is TRUE.  Also included, within the skin folder, are all of Mytai's original research material that came with the 1stGen Package. This includes photos and other text files.
Also included are slightly modified data and loadout ini that correct a few little faults. Wingfold and canopy are now manually activated, using the Standard Animations Keystrokes (tm); shift/9 for wings, shift/0 (zero) for canopy. Lighting has been tweeked so the wing lights follow the wing when folding/unfolding. A landing light and the 3 approach lights have also been added (see "Notes" for more details).
When in-game, on the Loadout Screen, on the skin selection dropdown you'll see:
VF-114 Aardvarks 65 (Mytai)
As the Aardvarks are a unit listed in the stock squadron list ini, decals are set to make the displayed name active.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... 
New Version Uploaded 10/2/2019:
Fixed typo in decals ini

********************************

SF2 A-4C(65) VA-113 'Stingers' Camo Skin Pack             9/4/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
This is a new skin for the A-4C_65 Skyhawk, representing VA-113 "Stingers" during their Oct 1965-June 1966 deployment in South East Asia aboard USS Kitty Hawk. They were painted in an experimental 2-tone green camoflague, as were many other aircraft of CVW-11 at this time.
The skin is in jpg format, in 2048x, from Nyghtfall's templates. 12 95% historically accurate Bunum decals are included. Decal randomization is TRUE. On the number list, those marked with a star (*) represent a combat or operational loss. The single number marked with the cross (+) is  "best guess", as the squadron listing did =NOT= have a BuNum for A/C 305. The SF2 Date switch is NOT used; you will have to select this skin for each member of you flight. 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop down, Skin selection window you'll see:
VA-113 (Camo 1965-66)
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 

Happy Landings!

In the '50 several south american countries entered in jet age with the Shooting Star
This huge skinpack portaits these airforces:
- Brazil  (33 delivered starting in 1958, withdrawn from service in 1973)
- Chile  (30 delivered from 1958 on, last ones retired from service in 1974)
- Colombia  (16 delivered starting in 1958, retired by 1966)
- Ecuador  (16 delivered between 1957 and 1960, six returned to the United States in 1965)
- Peru   (16 delivered starting in 1958, the type was phased out in 1973)
- Uruguay  (17 delivered, withdrawn from use in 1971)
Why this little, quite heavy (see the FACh camo skin ...) effort?
Because this is a fantastic, maybe underated, model made by great 3D master Erikgen and these exotic skins are pretty. (Aren't they?)
<ENRICO CI MANCHI!>
WHAT'S IN:
- 13 new skins
- Historical Serial numbers
- Brazilian Playcards ...
CREDITS:
- Enrico Gennari aka "EriKgen" plane model
- Kenin Stein aka "Wrench" original FAC skin used as a base from my own house templates
- Geary aka "Geary" for some layers I was able to extract from his temps I couldn't use due my old PS suite
INSTALL:
- You must have Erikgen F-80C installed
- deliver all files inside "to mod folder" folder to your own mod folder (isn't it easy?)
Carpe diem .... and fly higher and higher, please.
