[Fictional] MiG-17PF 'Fuerza Aérea Argentina'


MiG-17PF 'Fuerza Aérea Argentina' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

This is a very simple mod of the stock MiG-17PF to give a fictional export version for the Fuerza Aérea Argentina with markings for Grupo 6 De Caza.


BACKSTORY

The Argentinian elections of 1958 saw Arturo Frondizi become President and with some support from Peron's followers to introduced various policies to encourage investment and make the country self-sufficient in energy and industry. One major issue was Argentina's chronic trade deficit and in early 1960 Frondizi cancelled the order for 28 refurbished F-86F Sabres on cost grounds and announced the procurement of 36 MiG-17PF interceptors from the Soviet Union for an undisclosed sum "to be funded solely by beef exports". Entering service with Grupo 6 De Caza in 1961 and armed with the indigenous 'Espada' radar-guided air-to-air missile the MiG-17PF's served in frontline service until 1979 and thus played no part in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas conflict but did remain on reserve status until 1983. 


INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the MiG-17PF_FAA folder into your Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the MiG-17PF_FAA folder into your Decals folder.

3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the TANK400_MIG17_FAA folder into your Weapons folder.


CREDITS

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.

And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Both squadrons have an association with the Middle East and Desert areas with No.6 Squadron being 'The Flying Tin Openers' whilst No.112 Squadron were famous for being the RAF's 'sharkmouth' squadron.
