Cambodian Airforce Skyraider


This skin is for AD-4N the French supplied to Cambodia against massive US protest. There are decals for ten aircraft, which is about the number used operationally (a couple were kept for spares).

Note: If you are using Mike Riddell's New Nation Pack (and you really should), you don't need to add anything to NATIONS.INI, but you'll have to rename INSIGNIA086.TGA in the D subdirectory to INSIGNIA090.TGA.

 

Of course I noticed the existence of Mike's nations pack only a couple of minutes *after* I uploaded this skin :blush2:

Three cheers to Mike for his Nations Pack :good:

It was actually the similarity of all the ex-French Skyraiders that made me do it, and the excellent reference supplied by sites like http://skyraider.org/.

I think that especially the the Cambodian Skyraiders might make for interesting niche-missions involving a lot of mission-editing trickery. Cambodia seems to have been neither here nor there in the 60's, but rather trying hard to keep out of the war. There seem to have been clashes with US and South Vietnamese aircraft about the intrusion into Cambodian airspace, and the legend behind the fuselage band on Cambodian Skyraiders is that Cambodian AAA mistook their own Spads for South Vietnamese.

 

BTW, this site http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/waf/aa-eastasi...f1-aircraft.htm has a pretty extensive listing of Cambodian aircraft (including serials), and some of those aircraft are available for WO*.
