Game rules for this thread: Same Unit, different aircraft. Major changes preferred, although in some cases like KC-135, F-4D to E, and C-130 different models could be ok.

and you gotta name the unit and rough year of the change.

to kick off, the 120th Fighter Squadron, Colorado Air National Guard. A-7D to F-16C, 1992

thats wicked

you guys are really taking it above and beyond my original concept. i just figured on show casing two different aircraft at a given transitional point in the unit's history

like the 706th TFS swapping Hogs to Vipers on a rainy New Orleans day....

5th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, whose tenure lasted from 1960 to 1988, flying F-106 Delta Darts

img00013.thumb.JPG.6bfe6e260fccf515b0316c82bb8fd4c9.JPGimg00014.thumb.JPG.3cab694972f07d35c2aec358679d31ed.JPGimg00015.thumb.JPG.23ac3ea58763c1717397dd4915472940.JPG

In the mid-1980s the 5th converted to the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagles. The F-15s only flew over Minot until the spring of 1988, when the FIS was inactivated.

Question: this are the original F-15A lods? Can you share the data with me so I can apply this vortex on mines too?

I know that the Charlie versions in Superpack have a different canopy design, that's why I asked, these ones seemed to have the original TW design canopy.
Thanks for the answer, I will check the Alpha Superpacks :good:

Update: Well, its like I thought, the Superpacks have another .LOD, check the canopy line and reflections:

Its not the same model.

Update 2: I looked carefully at the the files in the F-15A version of Superpack, who uses the original TW LOD´s with a updated DATA.ini and found the Vortex positions added.
This is what I looking for, thanks for the tip!!!

Late 1993: The 196th Reconaissance Squadron, California Air National Guard, becomes the 196th Air Refueling Squadron. The venerable RF-4Cs are traded in for even older (though refurbished) KC-135Es
