After the defeat in Malvinas/Falklands War in 1982, Argentina bought a non swing wing, light weight Flogger. The Soviets called it MiG-23FL. In early 1983 the first planes arrived.

The squadron would go on to upgrade to the F-15NSE (Navalised Silent Eagle), nicknamed the 'NES' or 'Mario' by it's crews...

A VAQ-562 pilot about to crash on the USS Nimitz due to low power when trapping. (I haven't yet figured out to trap the Prowler. The Growler I do fine but yeah it'll be some time before I get the Prowler).

Going for another try at trapping. One day I'll figure it out in the Prowler, but today is not that day. It's the cockpit that screws me up,, and I prefer a HUD compared to the what I believe is the DIANE sight, as it blocks the view of the deck when I'm coming in. The A-7, Growler all have HUDs so I can work out what to do, not the Prowler. I'll stick to land bases instead.

The F-4E2 "Pret" is a F-4E Phantom variant used by the Indian Air Force. After buying 20 Phantoms in 1982, the Indian Air Force updated them to the "Pret" standard in 1995, allowing the Phantoms to carry AIM-120s and more modern ordinance. These planes stayed in service until 2020, when they were replaced by a batch of 24 Su-30MKIs.
