looks like a shortened version of the one they experimented with on the super phantom test aircraft in 1984. The sparrows were mounted to the conformal tank sides much like the way the F-15 carries its sparrows. The conformal tank made the test aircrafts belly look some what similar to the F-3 demon. It was said to actually improve the f-4's aerodynamics while adding 1100 gallons of fuel.

Is it from the same pack I've got and I was just fooled by the lighting on the specific screen?

 

Its the same plane from the pack. Its just the lighting. Those in the SF2 section are the same, same skins, etc from the SF1 pack.

Well... Your loadout looks like if you were going to attack an enemy airbase. Did you put the Mehrzweckwaffe 1 on a phantom?

Too much jibba-jabba, not enough Mudhens!

 

Lovin' this new SF2 flock of Eagles.

 

Out on a test run at the range;

 

Nice background contrast, I thought;

 

 

And a close tracer round taking `em out on the ground;

Super Etendard (Modernisé) over Afghanistan. Due to some troubles on the "Charles de Gaule" aircraft carrier that forced the ship to go back in France, a few SEM were sent on Kandahar to maintain a French Navy presence in association with Mirage 2000D of the Armée de l'Air. For this occasion they were specially painted in light grey.

Flying CAP with HVARs?

 

I always do. I once read a book about a pilot in the Korean War who was in a desperate situation with a mig. He had run out of ammo but did have a quad of HVAR's on for a close support mission. He was flying for his life but managed to get around on to the tail of the mig just once, and decided to fire his rockets. None of them hit, but the mig pilot saw them flash past his aircraft and thought "what the hell(in Korean)" and bugged out. So now I always carry a quad of HVARS's on my caps. I don't make my wingman carry any, but I do coz I am in charge and what I say goes.

 

Dogzero1..........out.

Flying CAP with HVARs?

 

I also really often take some rockets (HVAR, Zunis, the LAU 3/A pods...) on A2A missions... If you're running out of missiles or gun ammo or getting targets of opportunity, they come in really handy. I know that rockets are "not really useful" for A2A work, but for attacking some heavy Russian bombers with a tailgun or to scare off a MiG in a A-6, they're convenient. Or to destroy a Shilka in the egress way of your wingies, or to get some tanks when you have to fly a CAP over the CAS planes in WoE and already destroyed the adverse fighters...

 

I bet that Lieutenant Commander Theodore R. Swartz of VA-76 was glad that his A-4 was carrying some Zunis...

Good idea, and I think I may for now on too. Good story.

Talk about a one in a million shot! For those that do not know:

 

On 1 May 1967, an A-4C Skyhawk piloted by Lieutenant Commander Theodore R. Swartz of VA-76 aboard the carrier USS Bon Homme Richard, shot down a North Vietnamese Air Force MiG-17 with an unguided Zuni rocket as the Skyhawk's only air-to-air victory of the Vietnam war.

 

 

Also:

 

In May 1970, an Israeli Skyhawk piloted by Col. Ezra Dotan shot down two MiG-17s, one with unguided rockets, the other with 30 mm canon fire over south Lebanon, even though the Skyhawk's heads up display has no "air to air mode".

 

 

I think I will carry rockets for now on.

Yep.. 4 pods. Flak surpression mission.

He set one pod to single fire by own iniative. In his attack he fired 3 full pods in ripple mode and a single Zuni from the pod set to single fire.

All in a single attack run/firing . Thus he had 3 Zunis left.

He caught some bad words for that .. 'cause he was supposed to surpress AAA with ALL of his Zuni's .. and not going after MiG's

But Swartz was a fighter pilot ( F-8 community )

Good thing that he got the MiG with his 3rd and last Zuni ...
