Escort flight which turned hairy. The destroyed Hunter took 2 AIM9-Bs before i took it out with a few bursts of 20mm.

Anyways, from a fictional Vietnam campaign where RAAF Mirage IIIOs were deployed to the theater...

 

 

I used this what if as an excue to get Mirages over vietnam, but i used the original skin for 1968. Are you releasing that skin?

I'll try to set it up so the various deck and superstructure components individually detach when destroyed.

Just had a real shock. Flying CAP in SF2 and i downed this mig after a head to head. I couldnt believe my eyes when suddenly the fire on the aircraft went out and it started turning back for more. Unfortunately it was too close to the ground to recover from the dive and crashed. Wish id taken a shot of the mig trying to recover but i was in utter shock

Three more, taken today :

 

1. Spanish Starfighters in front of a B-52D taking off.

I have noticed that many people takeoff the BUFF with the flaps down. The B-52 (all models) do not use the flaps for takeoff.....ever. The flaps are two position (up or down) and are intended to slow the beast down for landing only. Most aircraft have a 20 or 30 % flap position to use for takeoff on a short field. Not so the BUFF. There is no such thing as a short field takeoff. This 'D' model looks great climbing out like this, but in real life the BUFF climbs out like a beagle puppy hunting for a rabbit, nose down tail high. Strange, but that is the way the beast really does it. That may be why the aircrews calculate an "Unstick" speed rather than a lift off speed.

I would chalk it out as habit, rather than ignorance. Just like with modern fighters with "Automatic" flap settings, I sometimes forget to raise the flaps on aircraft with manual settings. But then again, I didn't know that myself.
