View File [Fictional] F-100D 'Shavit' (Comet) for SF2
North American F-100D 'Shavit' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-100D to give a fictional F-100D 'Shavit' (Comet) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for;
117 squadron - 'The First Jet Squadron' in a natural metal scheme.
253 squadron - 'The Negev Squadron' in a USAF SEA scheme (as transferred from USAF stocks in October 1973).
This should work in any SF2 game featuring the stock Third Wire F-100D but has only been tested in a merged install of SF2/SF2V/SF2E/SF2I.
BACKSTORY
Despite a very smooth test and development phase North American Aviation's superb F-107 unexpectedly lost out to Republic Aviation's F-105 Thunderchief in the competition for a new supersonic fighter-bomber for TAC. By early 1959 the end of the F-100D production line was now in sight and with the F-108 and B-70 programmes now on the far horizon North American Aviation needed to stretch the F-100 Super Sabre programme out to plug the gap and urgently proposed a variety of F-100 variants to several friendly nations, including Israel, Japan and the United Kingdom.
In April 1959 the Israeli government signed for 50 F-100D's and the first of these entered Heyl Ha'Avir service in February 1960 replacing the obsolete Gloster Meteors of 117 Squadron. The 'Shavit' was a popular machine in Heyl Ha'Avir service and served with distinction during the 1967 'Six-Day' war but losses were heavy during the early days of the 1973 'Yom Kippur' war and two small batches of ex-USAF F-100D's were accquired as attrition replacements allowing No.253 squadron to re-equip with the F-100D before finally retiring the type in November 1977.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100Didf folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100Didf folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Special thanks to guyran for suggesting the 'Shavit' name.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

View File [Fictional] North American F-100D Super Sabre
North American F-100D Super Sabre (West Germany) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock F-100D to create a fictional F-100D in service with the German Air Force in the 1958-1967 timeline with colourful 'Black Tulip' markings for JG 71.
I'm releasing this 'as is' as a request from a couple of my friends here at Combat Ace. Only 8 aircraft numbers are supplied and the complex nose marking is the best I can do with limited time.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100Dwg folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100Dwg folder into your Decals folder.
That's it! In your aircraft selection drop down menu you will find this under F-100D Super Sabre (West Germany) this is just to separate it from the standard F-100D as I've removed the refuelling probe from this version.
