    F-8E F-8C F-8H F-8J F-8J (Late: IRST removed and additional ECM blisters on intake and tail fin) Around February 1972 four VF-211 F-8J were based out of Udorn Thailand to instruct frustrated USAF F-4 crews in air-combat maneuvering. The Crusaders flew strikes up North with the Phantoms , tanked and then would get some ACM practice in before recovering to Udorn. Even Robin Olds flew against these Navy pilots! The Air Force was embarrassed at their performance and in order to sabotage the program insisted that the F-8 Crusaders had to be temporary camouflaged. however this would have added 1200Ibs to the aircraft and was unacceptable. But what if?...

    There's very little information out there about it but did you guys know a F-8 Crusader Fighter Weapons School (aka Topgun) identical to the F-4 Phantom Fighter Weapons School (FWS) was set up and operating a few months first? The Ault report that called for a F-4 Post Graduate FWS equally called for a F-8 Post Graduate FWS

    tree-wise, I think the best way around that would be a terrain object LOD, something like how TK does it on the IcelandNA map. You could make "clumps" or groves, or even a row of them. Be a bit easier to place then trying to do it via TODs in the Terrain Editor.

    My decision has been made. 2nd Lt. Coe has been reassigned to flying rubber dog poop to Hong Kong. What an idiot! How can he be the only Phantom driver to not use any weapons on a fighter sweep? He SUCKS! He's flown as my wing several times and I've directed him to attack incoming aggressors only to have him call out Bingo Fuel. Unbelievable! What's the deal with calling bingo with 12270 pounds of internal fuel just 172 miles from waypoint 8?

    Slapped a bit of green and grey paint onto the static Chinook and Puma to give them more of an '80s RAF camo feel..

Modders and users are advised to tweak their _userlist.ini files and _data.ini files for aircraft and ships, to make use of the new naval aviation services added by this mod. >Credits (in no particular order): -Capitaine Vengeur, for his Modern Russian Federation Medals and Modern Ukrainian Medals packs. -Charles, for his Medals Pack v2.0 addon for SF1, which I have improved and updated to SF2 standards. -mue, for sharing info about the functionality of the alias.lst file. -paulopanz, for creating decals for Rwanda and Niger, which I have further tweaked. -eburger68, for few decals I borrowed from his huge campaign mods. I included the original readme files from the mentioned mods, where available, to the end of giving proper credit to everyone involved directly or not. >Disclaimer: This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages. This mod may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.
