  1. SLUFs on Guard: A-7D in Air National Guard service 1974-1993

                                                                                                                             SLUFs on Guard: A-7D in Air National Guard service 1974-1993
    This mod adds several new skins to showcase the stock ThirdWire A-7D as it appeared in Air National Guard service. This mod includes two "new" A-7 variants based off the stock A-7D_78, mainly for ease of incorporating skins and saving 500MB of space!
    The A-7D Corsair II (most commonly called the SLUF) first entered service in the Air Guard with the 188th Tactical Fighter Squadron, New Mexico ANG, in early 1974. The SLUF went on to serve with 16 different squadrons of the ANG, 15 of which are presented here (Arizona's 162nd TFS was the schoolhouse and flew predominantly A-7K two seaters). The A-7D finally bowed out of USAF service when the 162d Fighter Squadron, Ohio ANG, retired theirs in early 1993.
                REQUIREMENTS
    This mod requires you to have STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 EUROPE for the A-7D_75 and _78 it is based on. You could adapt rename the skins for use with the A-7D found in SF2 or SF2V,
    but thats 5 files in 60 some skins.

  2. Stealth SLUFs : A-7D in service with the 4450th Tactical Group

                                                                       Stealth SLUFs : A-7D in service with the 4450th Tactical Group
    This mod adds several new skins to showcase the stock ThirdWire A-7D as it appeared with the 4450th Tactical Group in the 1980s. The mod features their special version of the European 1 camo scheme as well as the SEA wraparound they appeared in for about the first year of operation.
    The 4450th Tactical Group was the first unit to operate the then ultra secret F-117A Nighthawk. In order to maintain a cover other than "Stealth Fighter", the group also operated around a dozen A-7Ds to develop "avionics for the A-7D". They flew the Corsair II from mid 1981 until 1989, after the F-117A program became public a few mnths prior.
                REQUIREMENTS

  7. ANG SLUF Pack- featuring TMF A-7D and A-7K

    This is an updated skinpack to reflect all USAF users of the SLUF after the bicentennial.
    Every unit tactical unit is included, as well as the 4450th TG that was a cover for the
    F-117A's at Tonopah. Most every scheme by every unit is in here; BUT for some units that had
    different tail stripes for different flights rather than squadrons(i.e Puerto Rico), i picked one color and
    went with that.
     
    INSTALLATION
    open the main folder, copy and paste into the mod folder of your choice and allow overwrites
     
    INCLUDED
    -4 diferent A-7D aircraft with one of the different paint schemes as a universal skin. changes
    were limited to making 4 aircraft from 2, and adjusting the data.ini for the new droptanks
    (A-7D_78TMF, A-7D80TMF, A-7D84TMF, A-7D_87TMF)
    -1 A-7K with 4 different skins. droptanks for this are set for green as that is when the bulk
    of these aircraft served was the SEA Wrap and Euro 1 era.
    -3 sets of droptanks to work with the different A-7D models
    - comprhensive decal set including 95 D model serials, 28 K model serials, and markings for
    all units that flew in the paint schemes represented
    - my expanded squadronlist.ini. helps to keep the tga's in order
     
    References
    Color and Markings #19: A-7 Corsair in USAF Service

    Thanks to / Credits
    The Mirage Factory for the original aircraft.
