Combat Cessna's part 1: The O-2A Skymaster in USAF Service
This mod highlights the Oscar Deuce. The Push Me Pull You. officially Known as the O-2A Skymaster. After its service in Vietnam the O-2A continued FAC duties and training, both around the world and at home in CONUS. Starting in 1970 several Air National Guard units also operated the O-2A, with the NY ANG being the last to operate them when the 137th TASS (not included) converted to the C-5 Galaxy.
Included
v2k's original model
revamped skins
new uncovered LAU-32 smoke rocket pods
updated inis
Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 mod folder" to install of your choice. allow overwrites
Note
This mod does not include 4 of the ANG units that operated the Skymaster due to lack of information on aircraft assigned. Likewise, the 23rd and 27th TASS's were combined into the 602nd TACW because of lack of definitive assignment (both squadrons operated red stripes, with one other color in each squadron). Several serial numbers in units that are represented are best guesses based on AMARC delivery dates or nation sold to from USAF stock.
Also, while the ability to carry gun pods, bombs and rockets is retained, this was meant to be an O_bservation aircraft. For gameplay sake several mission sets are added. But this little aircraft honestly wasn't meant for any of them.
LAST NOTE: yes that x is supposed to be there. think of it as a grease pencil gunsight for aiming the rockets
