NOTES:
This package contains 2 aircrafts folders the SR-71A Early and the SR-71A Late.
The first splits the the Blackbird’s life from the beginning to early 80’s,the second from 1982 to the end of it’s career in 1997-98 including late 90’s airframes reactivations.
This was made to let you use the respective style numbers and markings (early whites and late reds) and let the crews wear both early white and late pale orange David Clark S-1030 suits.
Most of the skins are standalones aircrafts,USAF EARLY and USAF LATE are decalled to include many planes for AC type.
Also included in SR-71A Early are Nam Kadena’s Habus (ICHI BAN,RAPID RABBIT,ROSEMARY’S BABY SAN) made for your SF-2V and SF-2VXP Pack installs.
Splitted in these folders are included NASA’s birds too from the early YF-12C to the late plane that made the last historic flight.
There's no pictures regarding real RSO screen sight,the .tga included is a mix between Alphasim's and the Call of Duty Black Ops Sr-71 mission image that inspired me drawing it like that.
Model also can be used For TW's first gen users(just putting the decals inside the respective skin folders and pilots in Aircraft folder)
