Gloster F-73C Meteor for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

N.B. Requires SF2 Expansion Pack 1

This is a simple mod of the stock Gloster Meteor F.8 to give a 'what if' Meteor in USAF service with markings for the 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-73C folder into your Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-73C folder into your Decals folder.

That's it!

Pretty cool "What-If" mod and it's not all that fictional! If memory serves, the USAAF was looking to buy this plane, so one or more existed for a time with USAAF livery for the test trials. Ultimately, they passed as newer US built planes were being developed that would have made the Meteor obsolete in the near future.

Yes, but it was more for short-term evaluation than any potential purchase.

'The Gloster Meteor' by Edward Shacklady (the Meteor bible) further explains that this was a temporary swap-over with Meteor and Airacomet going back to their homelands.
