Oregon ANG will be the first operational F-15EX squadron...

[JosefK 911]

Good thinking @dtmdragon.  Sure hope you can also do the 123rd FS as they'll be the next squadron in line.  Here is their tailflash:

I'm sure you'll come up with some better serial #s and maybe names!

Lots of real-life F-15 images up on my Flickr at https://flic.kr/s/aHsm155jiN - including loads of 123rd FS F-15Cs!

Royal Thai Sabres Scramble as Vietnamese MiG-21 dash to strafe Nakhon Phanom

Red Crown said they were 20 miles out, went right 90 deg right after take off, almost stalled

They jettison tanks and bombs to outrun us. Not sure they need to.

One of them didn't outrun a Sidewinder, and the other one had to go back home with a rudder shot off by a .50, but that was as good as it was gonna get

Canberra Can Do. And Did!

Thai revenge, a raid on North Vietnam. Flew with Sidewinders and left the bombing to the other flight.

Spraying a MiG with .50s until they go down feels quite rewarding. 

Shout out to all the mod artists that make a game this old look this beautiful

Somewhere in Turkey, waiting for the scramble call...

You lookin' at ME???

So in my everlasting quest for how much BS i can get away with in Vietnam, i felt like starting a what-if campaign. IRL, Johnson asked Franco for some sort of Spanish support againt Communism in Vietnam when the war started. Franco sent a letter back, telling him that the US would loose the war because communism looks great when you are piss poor, and sent a Field Hospital, but no combat troops. So i thought "What if he pulled something ludicrous such as sending HA-1112s (Bf109s with Merlin engines, as seen in Battle of Britain) as COIN aircraft?" Lacking HA-1112s, got the stock Avia S-199. 

Turns out...you can outMiG the MiGs

Part 2

Went out to bomb Vinh's runway. I wasn't sure two S-199 could carry enough payload to do the job, so i got 8. When i dropped my bomb, and waited to see if the rest of the flight could get some more hits, i managed to hit another MiG-17 and shoot an aileron off. However, he flew away, and started getting chased by two Crusaders and a Phantom that wanted to steal my kill.

So here we have an F-8 crawling up on him, while another just breaks off after wasting all his ammo, since he is a dogfighter and can't hit anything if it isn't turning. Then there is a Phantom who almost shot his sidewinder into the first Crusader.

Meanwhile, the Spanish pilot thinks about how his life led him to this moment "I could be flying an F-104 back home"

Sabre Leader "Noice kill"

Sabre Wingman "Oi mate, you sure that's what the Yanks meant when they asked us to act as Aggressors?"

Sabre Leader "Wot? This is aggressive"

 

Meanwhile, in Thailand:

Phantom Leader "Keep looking out boys, these Aussies are sneaky, we are getting some good training against them MiG-17s"

Phantom No4 "So that's why they paint snakes on their tails?" 

Phantom Leader "You shut up"

Last minute save, strafed the radar right after launch

 

The irony of using guns to strafe a target in order to save rockets, and scrape away a couple of full, brand new pods for going too low.
