+Dagger Posted November 20, 2002 Posted November 20, 2002 hows about a "Blacksheep"skin for the A-4?not sure if it is VMF or VMFA sorry.I do know they flew A-4s
Bozo312 Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Hey Dagger, If they flew A-4's they would have been VMA-214. Not until later were any of the squadrons known as VMFA. The A stood for Attack and the F for fighter. FA stands for fighter/attack squadron. I will try and find a picture of the 214 just in case. I am no skinner but maybe a picture would help someone that is.
Bozo312 Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Here is the best picture I found so far. At least it is the clearest. click here The 214 is still a VMA squadron. They now fly AV-8B Night Attack Harrier. They are stationed at MCAS Yuma, Arizona and assigned to Mairne Air Group 13. I just found another that shows the ram on the side of the aircraft. Remember these are A-4M's. So they are well advanced of what we have in the game. And here is what their planes look like now.
+Dagger Posted November 21, 2002 Author Posted November 21, 2002 Thanks Bozo...OK I'm still the village idiot.
Bozo312 Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 Thanks Bozo...OK I'm still the village idiot. No not an idiot. I did not mean for it to sound like that. If I did I appologize. I just have been around the military far too long and I have way to much time on my hands. :yltype:
Bozo312 Posted November 21, 2002 Posted November 21, 2002 <-----Damn double post dummy. I cannot believe I did that. DOH
