DA's TOTALLY TERRIFIC THREAD OF STICKERIFFIC IMPROVEMENTIFICATIONS. and stuff

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

nah, see that "find the real pic" and raise it "lets redo the panel lines and stencils again"

old

new

the slime light aint bugging me as much any more. now just gotta fix the panel on account of the pitot tube......

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

ok, got panels about where theyre gonna be, need a few more stencils, and gotta wait for a response back from Alaska on serials

so we'll get Germany kick started while we wait

@Nightshade/PR youre familiar with this crew iirc.....  and somewhat with their previous location

[+Nightshade/PR 7,178]

I might have spent some time in those locales................

true. thats why the Mud Hens are next on my list, after i get some serials down for the 22nd (Bitburg '93) and Alaska '94.

but the light grays can stay in their lane

[+Nightshade/PR 7,178]

You both make good distractions while the rest of us Attack Pilots get on with the dirty work.......

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

shush you. those are coming in near mid future too

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

got these safety stencils dialed in a bit better. not a ravenclaw level of detail, but placements down better

Ahhh, the siren promise of HD Destructiveness. If they are anything like your A-7's, we're gonna be cooking with fusion power!!! Can't wait to turn some baddies into nuclear flash-fried nuggies with new sh*t!!! (Whoa, I'm gonna need a cigarette, and I don't even smoke!!) As we used to say in SAC, "Nuke Em Till They Glow, Then Shoot Em In The Dark"!!!

its about that time again

 

and yes, WARPAC Central Heating is still available......

 

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

ok, Christmas is over. back to work ya mule....

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

done with Mud Hens

four more aircraft types until these two wings are done (not counting two seaters). guess which one is next (bonus points if you guess the block)

[+Nightshade/PR 7,178]

I'm going to take a flier on one of my favorite assignments, and go with the WolfPack; 35th & 80th Squadrons, flying C's & D's, Block 40.

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

not next

but in the pipeline     A/B models are in the pipeline

i had to double check,  i did these already

[+Nightshade/PR 7,178]

Hmmmm....

Then lets try the SCANG Swamp Foxes: 157th & 316th, flying C's & D's, Block 52.

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

gettin warmer

Block 52s are on the agenda but not Swamp Foxes

[+Nightshade/PR 7,178]

My next guess would be Misawa, or do you mean the Greeks?

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

Misawa had 52's? legit question, i thought they got 50s when they became the 35th FW.....

really you need to try harder Kojak . think about the multi jet type/big jet posts of the last couple months. one wing keeps popping up across 4 airframes now (soon to be 5)

all the other units have been side quests of this main one

Certainly you don't mean that bunch of Hooch Runners in North Cakalaky at Pope???????

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

ok now i think youre just screwin with me

besides, the fine folks in Alcoholics Anonymus (down the street from me on Smoke Bomb Hill) liked their company.

 

[+Nightshade/PR 7,178]

I'm running out of bases. If not Pope, all I have is Luke, Eglin, or just maybe Hill. It been a few days since I retired, and I haven't kept up with all the rearranging going on. I know it's not SpangQuentin, Linestein, Kunsan or Osan. But in my own defense, most of my career was spent around F-4's, F-15's & B-52's. Korea was the only time I was involved with F-16's on a daily basis, other than when Hahn & TJ deployed to Turkey when I was assigned there.

[+allenjb42 4,164]

Is it the 389th FS flying F-16Cs from Mountain Home?

It looks like you're working up towards this screenshot:

[+Nightshade/PR 7,178]

And here I was thinking that Mt. Home flew 15's only, along with the heavies.......

[+daddyairplanes 9,238]

Allen wins it a Fighter Wing campaign would be nice too but.......

 

Ron, yes they flew Vipers too. Block 52s and a Weasel role from mid 94 until 2006 (or 07?) when the 389th went to Mud Hens

from late 1992 until summer of 94, they had a light attack role, and any SEAD was either gonna be Maverick, CBU or pre loaded HARMs (set against specific freqs not able to pick targets like F-4G or Block 50/52)
