About This File

Hawker Harrier Mk.59 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

This is a very simple mod of wpnssgt's cracking little AV-8S 'Matador' to give a fictional Harrier Mk.59 as it might have appeared in service with the Comando de Aviación Naval Argentina and fictional markings are included for 3ra Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque (3rd Fighter/Attack Squadron).


INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Harrier59 folder into your Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Harrier59 folder into your Decals folder.

3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the Tank_AV8S_COAN folder into your Weapons folder.

That's it!


CREDITS

Massive thanks to wpnssgt for the 3D model. Having only joined this community in early 2008 I'm guessing that this predates the Harrier contained in Wings Over Europe and, if so, then fair play - it's a beaut! As I've said before, "there's gold in them thar archives"!

Thanks also to C5 for the FM and to Sundowner for the skin.

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.

And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Regards

This would be a true fictional aircraft.  Argentina and Britain are not close, and definitely not close after the 1982 Falklands war.  I might add the '82 war was the high point of the Harrier AGAINST the Argentine Air Force.  Still, everyone should get what they want.  If you want a Argentine Harrier, I'm hardly the guy to say no to that.

From the Veinticinco de Mayo wiki page;

In September 1969, during the voyage of the recently bought Veinticinco de Mayo from the Netherlands, Hawker Siddeley demonstrated their Harrier GR.1 on board the carrier for a possible sale to the Argentine Navy.
