Scooters

[SUICIDAL 401]

The last Work done in the A4AR are mind blowing   !!!!!

Getting off the deck is the easy part.

There's always a critic in the audience waiting to blow up your performance....

I had some operator control issues on the landing.... Kinda drifted on the touchdown

Talk about getting it stopped at the Last Second......

Last Checks.....with "You're So Vain" in my headphones.....

Roll in to "All Along The Watchtower"..................... (Maybe it should have been "Burning Down The House")

Cruising back with no extra ordinance...Gliding in to "A Horse With No Name"

Didn't come up in the rotation. However, Kano's "I'm Ready" was more than sufficient to get me pumped for this strike.

Uruguay. I know it is fiction. They never had the Skyhawk. But i love their insignia.

Proud of myself - best carrier landing I've ever done. I just followed CASE 1 to the letter (and number!)

Not bad...that's some real dedication.

If you like to have some more realistic skins for VA-12, have a look at my Vietnam Scooters. Both of their Vietnam-deployments are already covered. Interesting thing about VA-12 was, that they went back to A-4C from A-4E on there 2nd deployment. It's one of very few of such cases.

Have fun with SF2!

1st one from 1966

2nd one from 1970.
