SF2 P-3C Orion by Florian 8/29/2015
= For SF2, (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
A stand alone release (as requested) of Florian's Beta P-3C Orion naval search aircraft. It is taken 'as is' from eburger's RSR mod. The only thing I've done is activate the cockpit, and change a few sounds.
Skins included are 2 US Navy and 1 Netherlands Navy, as is the cockpit and all required decals and sounds. A full userlist ini, is included for skinners
**This aircraft is a "Beta Release". It is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist until as it's no longer a Beta.***
Happy Landings & Good Hunting!

Lockheed S-3B Viking by FoxMontor
By Wrench
Lockheed S-3B Viking by FoxMonter
= For SF2, Any and All =
This is the (hopefully) full, compiled package of FoxMonter' S-3B "Viking" Sea Control Aircraft, upgraded/updated/fiddled-to-fit the SF2 series. I've assembled all the skin/decal sets I could find into one big lump.
Skins included in the pak are:
VS-21 Fighting Redtails +
VS-27 Sea Wolves *
VS-29 Dragonfires +
VS-30 Diamondcutters +
VS-30DS (Desert Storm) ?
VS-32 Maulers ?
VS-33 Screwbirds +
VS-33lo Screwbirds (Lo-Viz) +
VS-35 Blue Wolves *
VS-38 Red Griffins +
VX-1 Pioneers +
The suffix symbols designate the artist that created the skins/decals. The Key is below:
*=HrntFxr
+=Paul Nortness
?=IDK
All decals and decal inis have been fixed and updated to SF2 standards.
Several ini edits to the loadout, data and avionics also update them to SF2 standards (as of Aug, 2011). Wingfold and bombay animations have been seperated; bombay uses the standard Control/O (oh)key, and the wingfold is activated via the Shift/9 key. The cockpit is not equiped with an RWR display, so an 'audio-only' version is used. The flight model is unchanged.
A new, SF2-style photographic hangar screen is also included. I've also included several sounds called for in the data ini.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full,detailed, easy-to-follow install instructions.
With thanks to all the skinners, and FoxMontor for their work!
Good Hunting!

DC-8 Sarigue. SF2.
By yakarov79
DC-8 Sarigue. Systeme Aeroporte de Recueil d’Informations de Guerre Electronique (Airborne Electronic Warfare Information Gathering System)
Simple mod of Veltro's DC-8 aircraft.
Ive made this to fill my Desert Storm instal.
It is not perfect but consider this as beta.
If someone wishes to add something, improve skins etc...contact me.
Fake Pilot mod is needed to run this mod.
I've made one basic skin thanks to templates from original pack and DC-8 Sarigue mod.
I'm using C-160 pit from florians work. It fits well for me here. In case i want to fly this.

DC-8 Series by Veltro2k
Douglas DC-8 series By Veltro2k
This mod features three versions of the Douglas DC-8 jetliner and historical skinsets from introduction in the early '60s through the mid '80s. A little something for eye candy around the airfields or to run intercepts on.
Versions
*DC-8 representing the original DC-8-10/20/30/40 versions with the quieting tubes on the exhaust
*DC-8-50 representing the final short fuselage version and JT3D engines without quieting tubes
*DC-8-60 representing two of the final new build versions with stretched fuselage.
*several historical skinsets for all models
*flight and nations ini edits to allow airliner nation and a spaced out in line formation
Installation
unzip and load into mods folder. allow merging
Known Issues
* The cockpit is the same pit as in all V2k's big jet planes. Not proper but the plane was meant for eye candy not regular missions
* The DC-8-50 model has a seam running along the spine. Until Veltro makes an appearance again this will be there. It is not noticeable at a distance
*This is a huge mod (4 1/2 GB) due to how i've made the skins, or specifically the tgas for the fuselage.It takes a bigger decal to paint the side of an airliner
Credits

Douglas AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship for SF2 - Ver.2
By Wrench
Douglas AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship -Version 2.0
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, Plus Expansion Pak 1 =
*Designed with SF2:V in mind*
*Note: You =MUST= have Expansion Pak 1 to access the C-47 lods. If you don't have it, do =NOT= download this mod, as you'll be unable to use it*
MANY modifications to the stock C-47 Skytrain, create the AC-47 "Spooky" gunship for your SouthEast Asian flying enjoyment.
A new skin, using my Home-Grown Template , and enhancements by paulopanz, give it a passble SEA 3-Tone. All markings are decals, and are 100% historically correct for the 3rd SOS. Markings for 18 aircraft are included, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
The miniguns are supplied as a weapon, but exist 'virtually' in the aircraft body (no physical lod). "Parachute" illuminator flares are also supplied for those pesky night interdiction missions.
An SF2 version of my original 'boxart' hangar screen is included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Also, PLEASE read the "Notes" section -- vital information in there that might assist you in playing this aircraft (pylon turns are a PAIN!!).
Good Hunting!

F-89 Scorpion Pack for SF2
By Wrench
F-89 Scorpion Pak for SF2 6/4/2010
-- Version 2, 3/3/2016 --
This package includes the full set of F-89 Scorpions, from MontyCZ's original C & D version, PLUS the variant mods I'd created, giving the H, J (Early) and J (Late). The various readmes for the sub-variants are included in their specific aircraft folder, just for historical purposes.
This package has been peaked and tweeked for use in SF2 =ONLY=, and is NOT designed for use on SF/Wo* series 1st Gen sims. It makes use of certain elements found ONLY, and usable ONLY, in SF2.
Everything is included -aircraft, inis, skins, decals, weapons, pilots. =EXCEPT= a cockpit. Due to changes in SF2's internal coding, these aircraft now make use of the stock in-game F-4B via ini edits that through sorcery now reach back into the cat files, and create usable cockpits without the need of a cockpit folder. How this works, I don't know or care; but that it =does= is a wonderful thing!!
On such aircraft that have operating canopies (those that use the F-89D lod), the canopy works via the Standard Manual Animation Keystroke , shift/0.
This package is designed to REPLACE the original set, and will drop right over it, providing you have it already. If you don't, no worries! Just install as normal.
As always the standard, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them!
Good Hunting!

Big Safari: C-54D Hilo Hattie
By yakarov79
C-54D Hilo Hatie
March 2016.
This is fake pilot mod of C-54D by Veltro. Original file can be found here
http://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/
This mod represents Big Safari modified C-54D for recon flight under code name Hilo Hattie. Modifications included installation of a new night photography capability with photo flash cartridge ejector and Reconflex VI infrared camera.
C-54D 43-17235 began operations on 20 April 1962 with a cover story for aircraft's purpose.
Hilo Hattie mapped all of south Vietnam and border areas of Laos and Cambodia. During 10 months of service, the aircraft flew 102 missions before it was replaced by Brave Bull - Big Safari modified C-97G.
So this mod is mostly for players interested in Wings Over Vietnam.
Decals, skins (based on veltro2k templates) - yakarov.
Hilo Hattie ini work (few lines for fake pilot and weaponstations work) - yakarov.
Fake pilot mod is done by me - yakarov.
original model - veltro2k

SF2 Douglas C-54 Skymaster by Veltro2K 9/23/2013
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
This the release of the Veltro2k's WW2 & Post-War US Cargo aircraft, made most famous by it's use during the Berlin Airlift.
It is REQUIRED that you have some measure of SF2, merged to whatever level, as this mod references the stock An-12's destroyed model. Hence, the need (as I state it always) for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you may not have the dead, burning wreckage on the ground. It has NOT been tested in 1stGen SF/Wo* at any patch level. It most likely will =NOT= work, due to LOD coding.
This pack includes the following 4 skins for the C-54:
OD/Grey, with 1942-43 'star-and-ball'
OD/Grey, late WW2 (late 43-later), 'star-and-bar'
Natural Metal, Late WW2, to late 1947 (pre-USAF formation)
"USAF", Natural Metal, post 0ctober 1947 (tagged with Military Air Transport badges star-bar w/red stripe).
The AvHistory engine is included.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE for all. ALL markings are decals. The damage textures are in DDS format. The template is included for other skinners (and in the hopes someone can clean up the mess I made of it!!
Each skin has it's own Hangar Screen, matching the paint job (more or less).
The cargo loading door/ramp opens and closes with the standard Bombay key (Control/0).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on operational usage, and the FM and other stuff like that there.
Happy Landings!

UPDATE NOTES
*****************************
IMPORTANT.
Update by 76.IAP-Blackbird. All credits to him. He did great job on this.
He fixed airbrakes and put engine reverse thrust into specified models with TF33 / JT3D engines.
If you already have this pack. You can download just update data.ini of each aircraft. file Updated_Aircraft_Data_only.rar
Please copy data.ini file of aircraft model into specific folder in game mod folder.
Do not use Data.ini of on emodel on other. Even if file name is same.
Example.
RC-135U_70 got different data.ini file than model _80 or _90.
So you need to copy each aircraft data.ini file from each folder of this update into yours game folders.
Just keep this in mind to avoid mess with fake pilot RC mods.
Or you can download whole updated pack and overwrite yuor game files.
If you are downloading it for the first time. No need to download update. It has already updated ini files.
You need FakePilot mod to run this pack.
This is Beta version which means:
- I never finished avionics work. I was trying to do something but lack of time...and it will take me months. So ther is no specific avionics for every model. Just one generic. And it is not working. It really needs some avionics work.
- Skins could be better. I just simple deleted some lines here and there but I've never put so much attention to weathering etc.
- Cokpit is from B-52. Just for test flights. It is included. I don't remember who made this. All credit to him.
- All birds are set as Bobmer so they can fly high.
- For sure it needs some ini work.
- It need still some work. But only if i will find time. Better to upload it now than never. So for now it is realased as in condition.
Pack includes
RC-135C Big Team.
RC-135D Rivet Brass.
RC-135E Lisa Ann / Rivet Amber.
RC-135M Rivet Card.
RC-135S Rivet Ball. first S version under name Wanda Belle and later Rivet Ball.
RC-135S Cobra Ball early as in 1969
RC-135S Cobra Ball as in early eighties.
RC-135S Cobra Ball current version as rebuild in mid nineties.
RC-135U Combat Sent early version with 'Towel Rails' and first paint scheme
RC-135U Combat Sent still early version but with new paint scheme.
RC-135U COmbat Sent late version as modified in late eighties.
RC-135V Rivet Joint eary version of V model with LTV mission equipment
RC-135V Rivet Joint late rebuild with E-Systems humps.
RC-135W Rivet Joint
RC-135W Rivet Joint as above but with new engines.
All serial numbers are historicaly correct. Same as names.
All aircraft were names as code + number "Combat Sent II or Cobra Ball I etc.) I have no information about everything. Info about any of it would be great. Especialy about Rivet Card.
Since whole mod is made via fake pilot there are some limitations.
Biggest "no" for me is first S- Cobra Ball where 663 and 664 carried little different set of sensors.
Some aircrafts were upgraded later than other in same model group. So service date is generic as first aircraft of block build was issued.
Example: first Cobra Ball was flying already 1969 (663 number) but second (664 number) was delivered in 73 if I remember correctly. Same with other aircrafts, they were never delivered same year.
There were few fancy nosearts spotted on RCs but...not this time. Maybe later with some updates
Instalation:
Copy subfolders to specific folders in your mod directory.
Aircraft,Pilots, Decals.
Thats it.
Enjoy.
Report bugs.
Keep an eye on enemy.

SF2 IDF C-47 Skytrain Pak
By Wrench
SF2 IDFAF C-47 Skytrain Pak 6/10/2016
= For SF2:I (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED ) =
**You =MUST= have SF2I Expansion Pack 1 to have access to the stock 3W C-47!!!.**
Some small modifications, reskining/decaling of the stock 3rd Wire C-47 Skytrain/Dakota
transport aircrft, as used by the Israeli Defense Force. Be advised, THIS mod is designed
for use -ONLY- in your SF2:I mod's folder.
The package contains 2 skins for No. 103 "Flying Elephants" squadron Skytrains:
Brown/Blue camo (mid 1950s thru 1969)
Late 3 Tone Camo (1969-2001)
Skins are in original bmp format. The SF2 "date switch" is used, and the game will
automatically switch over to the late 3-tone in 1969. The Brown/Blue will start in 1955,
although research is not conslusive as to exactly when. For years predating that, they
seem be in an OD/Grey type of paint job (not the NM finish the Game Engine uses).
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Serial & Modex numbers are 100%
historically correct. Both skins use the same 'pool' of number decals. There are no Hangar
or Loading screens, but all sounds and pilot figures are provided. Also included are the
cockpit (for those that haven't made it flyable yet) updated/revamped data, avionics, and
userlist inis. I've also given you my (patent-pending) "One Click Restore" main ini.
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest
of the readme for the install instructions.
Happy Landings!

C-141A Starlifter Redux 2
This is primarily a skin pack although it fixes a few quirks in the data.ini that was pointed out in testing as well.
Included are 3 historical skins: Natural Metal, White over Grey and European 1.
A dozen serial numbers and represented units tied to those numbers
Credits: BIG THANKS to Geary for the staring templates. He was much faster on panel lines than i could have been, and it does
help a skin when it has proper panels and some weathering
Veltro2k for the original model and some technical support
Wrench for more tech support and updating the original some
Muesli for testing the semi final product
TK for the game itself
me, well i just made the nat metal and lizard skins, decals and cleaned up a little round the inis and edges
Install directions: drop the objects folder into your mod folder. Allow overwrites. No particular SF version needed and historically
fits into all of them including Israel (resupply in '73).
I hope you enjoy this mod

Wrench, eburger68, Gepard, and the overall community ... for much advise and technical
support on this project
slartibarfast, viggen, macelena and others who crash tested this thing for me
******************************WARNING*******************************************************************************
this bird is rather old, and has its limitations. it is not meant for flying on recon missions,
but rather mainly for eye candy and somethin to possibly intercept or escort. while you CAN
fly it, that does NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD. that said buyer beware all quirks of this bird like the pitch
down on gear and flap retractions and the non moving control surfaces.
****************************USE OF THIS MOD*************************************************************************
I will allow fairly free use of this mod in any other mod. What i (at this time) request is that you do not
create a new skin based airline for it. the airlines are on as tga so that many airlines show up at one time.
A seperate say "Pan Am" skin will ruin the effect and there will be 8-9 Pan Am birds on the tarmac. Any airline
you would like to see, pm me and i will either tell you how to make it or time allowing make it and add in. Thank
you.
again, thank you for downloading this and i hope you enjoy it

Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina (the post WWII series)
By paulopanz
With the end of the war, all of the flying boat versions of the Catalina were quickly retired from the U.S. Navy, but the amphibious versions remained in service for some years The Catalina subsequently equipped the world's smaller armed services into the late 1960s in fairly substantial numbers.
Even if it left service quite soon, this plane was used worldwide and so useful for many our scenarios or campaigns.
For example: Israel '48-56, Timor confrontation, French Indochina, Taiwan, Cuban Crisis, Scandinavian Front(*), an Early Falkland campaign and much more
What's in:
- a new plane;
- 29 new (*) skins Aéronavale (5), ARA (3), AURI (2), Chile (1), Dominica (1), FAC (1), FAR (1),IDF (1), KMARINE (2) RDAF (3), RNAF (4), Sweden (2), Taiwan (1), US Navy (2)
- Historical decalsets;
- pilots;
- weapons;
- sounds;
- New screens;
- loadout.tga;
Notes:
- original shadow issue (I don't know why) solved;
- nose bloothering quick fixed;
Credits:
- Veltro2k - plane model;
- Wrench - WW2 plane edition;
- Pappychcksix - Templates;
- FeDee - Original ARA skins fixed and redone;
- Paulopanz - Skins, Decals, pilots, edits;
Install:
- all mod folder content in your mod install
- overwrite
Please include these Catalinas in your existing or further mods, only crediting Veltro and me.
That's all

released before the aircraft were disappeared.
This pak contains =ONLY= those aircraft used by the USAF, our Allies and other NATO powers. The

Included in this pack are:
C-141A Starlifer
C-141B Starlifter
C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster III
G-222 Spartan (called such in USAF service)
Some may be more complete than others, with regards to decals and such. Some are fairly
'untouched', and will need further decaling, etc. Some hangar and loading screens are NOT in
SF2 format, and will need redoing (meaning: I never got around to them!).
All the original readmes from the Upgrade Paks (I could find!) are included within this main
folder. I'd reccomend reading them, just for fun!
Skin and some decal templates (again, when I could find them!) are included. The decal template
is for the "ttag" decal, that is for USAF AMC usage.
This pak is quite large, as the skins remain in their bmp format. You can convert to jpg at you
convience.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations. Also, the Legal
Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you may not need to reapply this package. But,
to be safe, PLEASE check over your aircraft to be sure. Thank You :).
**These aircraft herein are re-released in "AS IS" Condition. There are/may be some issues with
the LODs that may not/cannot be resolved. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be
solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created. For now.**
Happy Landings!

B-58A Huster for SF Upgrade/Update Pak
By Wrench
B-58A "Hustler"
-- For SF2, Any and All --
This is a modification of Pasko's B-58 Hustler, to bring it more in line with SF2 standards.
If you have the 2009 SF2 Update, just install this directly OVER your pre-existing folders, allowing the overwrite. If you don't, don't worry about it.
Two skins are included (the same basic skin used twice), with all new 100% Historicaly Correct serial numbers, listing each operational aircraft that served with the 43rd and 305th Bomb Wings. Unfortunatly, I was unable to break them down each into which served with each of the 6 Squadrons in the 2 Wings, but this should do nicely.
There are also 2 cockpits included:
The original SF2 mod by Dave (USAFMTL), that uses the F-106 pit and,
An extensivelly modified F-4 Phantom pit (stock 3W ini only -as the cockpit exists in all versions of the game). This one makes use of many 'moves' to drop items out if sight, and uses the physical external model for the windshield framing.
Neither one is perfect ... this is elaborated further in the "Notes" section, with instructions on what to switch or turn off in the various inis; depending on which you choose. Right now, it's using the Phantom pit, as it really is quite a bit closer than the 106's.
In the Loadout ini, several alternate loadouts are listed. These can be accessed from the 3rdWire mission editor screen (for post-Expansion Pak 2 users). Other ini edits repositon the running & landing lights, add 'virtual' flaps (as this aircraft made use of drooping elevons -without the original source file this is impossible to duplicate-), minor engine adjustments, and avionics tweeks. It could also stand a slightly improved FM; the changes and other comments are in the "Notes" section. Weapons are included, the nuke explosion effects are =NOT=. YOu should probably have them from the GunnyPak. Speaking of weapons, a "new" 8kt ARM is included; this is a fictional ARM version of the Genie, more in line with "Fail Safe" and the No.6 Decoy/EW/Escort aircraft, and gives you a SEAD load. Kill SAM sites DEAD!!! Since real decoys don't/can't exist....it's just for fun! There's also and EO version, that can be used for STRIKE or SEAD missions.
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. This =IS= Required reading -- there are some issues that are addressed there.
Good Hunting!

SF2 Cessna O-2A Skymaster by Veltro2K
By Wrench
SF2 Cessna O-2A Skymaster by Veltro2K
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's O-2A FAC aircraft.
**Note: due to extensive modifications to the cockpit and other ini tweeks, it will =NOT=
work in 1stGen SF/Wo* games at ANY patch level**
As stated above, a reissue of the Skymaster FAC bird. Included in this pak are all the mods
from the "O-2 Tweeks Pak' I issued in 2009 (and it's attendant readme). This is the complete
aircraft.
Skins remain in their bmp format; Decal radomization is set to TRUE. A user list is
supplied. New damage textures are in DDS format. All weapons referenced are STOCK 3rd Wire
items, available in full 4/5 merged installs.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Included is my original readme for the "Tweeks Pak"; it's suggested you read this
as well, as it contains a listing of all the changes, tweeks, mods and so forth.
The Legal Statement has also been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions in
several of the inis you may wish to examine, you may wish to replace the originals with
these.
**This aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that

SF2 E-767 AWAC and KC-767 Cargo/Refueler Aircraft by Veltro2K
By Wrench
SF2 E-767 AWAC and KC-767 Cargo/Refueler Aircraft by Veltro2K
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's KC and E-767 aircraft.
It is REQUIRED that you have -at the VERY minimum- a Full-4 merged install. However, the AWACs makes use of SF2NA coding, and is NA is REQUIRED for everything to (more of less) work properly. Also, as these reference the stock 3W destroyed model (closest fit in shape, but not size...). Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you may not have the dead burning wreckage on the ground.
Included in this pack are the:
E-767 AWAC:
602 AACS, JASDF
KC-767 Refuler/Cargo Carrier:
14 Stormo, AMI
401 Squadron, JASDF
Skins remain in their bmp format; the KC-767 makes use of Brain32's trick of having the one skin, resued for both, residing in MAIN aircraft folder. Decal radomization is set to TRUE (well, there's 4 aircraft for each user!). A user list is supplied for the KC-767.
New damage textures are supplied, in DDS format. The skins have been 'partly' redone. The partial template I used in included. Other skinners are encouraged to 'have at it'
While this mod IS supplied with a cockpit, the Standard Waring Disclaimer for these High Value Assets remains: let the AI handle them. As AFR isn't part of the game ... the word we're looking for is "eye candy".
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions in several of the inis you may wish to examine, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish to replace the originals with these.
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
Happy Landings!

The Tigercat in Korea - A brief History
VMF-542 Squadron left San Diego for Japan in late August, 1950, the Tigercats being hoisted aboard the small aircraft carrier USS Cape Esperance. After arriving in Japan, the squadron was based at Itazuke AB for a short period but probably didn't operate over Korea at that time. More likely they were just placed on alert status to counter any potential inbound threats.
After the invasion at Inchon on September 15, VMF-542 began deployment to the newly captured airfield at Kimpo [K-14]. They flew their first combat missions from Kimpo on September 20. Operations from Kimpo were in support of the 1st Marine Division as it attacked northward. VMF-542 likely operated from the frozen Chosin Resevoir during that campaign. During this phase most operations were day and night interdiction, combat air support and armed recon but there is an interesting account of a VMF-542 Tigercat escorting a PR Tigercat [VMJ-1?] all the way to Vladivostok and back.
In January, 1951, VMF-542 moved back to Itazuke, Japan. From there the Tigercats conducted long range armed recon missions as well as doing some spotting for naval gunfire.
During February, 1951, VMF-542 was back in Korea, operating from Pusan [K-1] airfield.
In March, 1951, VMF-542 returned to El Toro, California, to begin training on the F3D Skynight. VMF-542's Tigercats and some pilots were transferred to VMF-513, making VMF-513 a composite squadron with both Tigercats and Corsairs. At some point after being transferred to VMF-513 the Tigercats recieved their rather famous flat black paint jobs. With VMF-513 the Tigercats were flown from Pusan mainly at night with the Corsairs operating in the day time. During the night missions the Tigercats would sometimes team up with flare dropping R4D's and PB4Y Privateers.
In June, 1951, VMF-513 moved to Kangnung [K-18], on the east coast of Korea. It was at this point the Tigercats scored there only aerial victorys, shooting down one PO-2 Biplane in June and another PO-2 in July, both shot down during night operations. From Kangnung the Tigercats also flew long night time patrols protecting the valuable radar station at Cho-do. On the return leg the Tigercats would engage any targets of opportunity. Another task was night time ground controlled radar bombing. The Tigercats would be called in by forward air controllers but the bombing run was calculated and directed by ground controlled radar operators. Yet another task was escorting B-26 Invaders during night time interdiction missions.
At the end of March, 1952, VMF-513 moved to Kunsan [K-8] airfield. The front line was quite static at this time allowing a very heavy concentration of anti-aircraft guns to be built up. For night time combat air support operations, a system was devised were two crossed searchlight beams would be used as a reference point while a FAC would give targeting directions to the Tigercat pilot, based on the position of the crossed seachlight beams. After the first Napalm bombs were dropped the FAC would give directions for further drops by referencing the position of the fire from the first drop.
In late summer, 1952, VMF-513 received twelve F3D SkyKnight fighters and the last of the Tigercats were phased out shortly after.

NATO Trainer Cargo Aircraft CT-49A
This is the NATO E-3 Components TCA,(USAF designated CT-49A) based on the 707-320. These aircraft are use for pilot training of the E-3 Component and for cargo and troop transport as needed. Three are operated by NATO and a total of 5 have ever flown under NATO colors. This mod includes a touch up of the OTAN skin found in the TMF E-3A release and decals for all 5 TCA's ever registered in Luxemborg. It also includes the Sentry cockpit to make it flyable, or if you have the 707-300 already you can drop the CT-49 skin in and it will work as well. I hope you enjoy!

F7U-3M Cutlass by Marcfighters
By Wrench
Vought F7U-3M Cutlass (by Marcfighters)
- For SF2 (Any and All, but Full-4 Merged Prefered) -
This is an upgrade to the F7U Pak I released in 2008, and like the original, still a sort of Beta (Minus). This is simply because the aircraft model is/was NOT finished by Marcello. Details as to this rating are enumerated in the 'ori-2008_f7u_readme.txt' included.
It's suggested for a Full-4 merged, although it can be used in any version that has access to the F-4B, as that cockpit is referenced, and the A-4's 300 gallon drop tank. These should be available in all versions, perhaps excepting SF2I, as that lacks the F-4B as stock.
Several ini tweeks move this a little closer (well, in that respect) for SF2. For the change list, see the "Notes" section below.
2 skins/decal are included:
VA-116 (Gull Gray/White, from the original pak)
VF-124 (new, in 'natural metal')
I've also included the skin templates, just in case someone might want them (and IMPROVE them!!). Also included is the AIM-7A Sparrow & AIM-9A Sidewinder from the GunnyPak (in case you ain't go it). All other weapons/drop tanks used are stock in-game items.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... I've also included my original readme from the 2008 release -- might want to give a read. It states what's what with this, and why it's classed as a "Beta Minus" release, even now. So, again, please read it.
Good Hunting!
