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?...

Great work!!! The Sader deserve more attention I think,so thanks! Great job woth the air vents, made similar job in some custom skin foe the A-7B/E

F-8 pilot in the Navy/ USMC camouflage (WWII 'duck hunter') fatigues a lot of older F-8 pilots wore early on during the Vietnam war:

I also have single AIM-9 rail options for all the other F-8 Variants with Y-racks (D/E/J/H):

Sea trials after a long refit.

Looks pretty cool! I'm working in new highrez skins for the F-8E (FN) & F-8P.

looking for the carriers

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

Reworked Fliegerhorst Marquise

True but well worth the wait.

Thought I'd bump this thread up with a convenient series of direct links to the new aircraft packages, for those who don't want to navigate through pages 17, 18 and 23 of the thread.

Agreed, it is one of the first things I will change even if its just for my own private mod etc. Same with ejection seats.

The longest 2 weeks of all time!!!!

Great minds think alike! 😄 F-8C (66) Y-Racks

A Dhimari F-20 fires his last Sidewinder at the luckiest Fulcrum pilot in the Parani airforce...

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.

Good argument. Thatswhy i have exerimented with planting some trees.

This project sounds very good !!! The last gunfighter... I love it !!!

Looking fantastic guys!!!!! KEEP IT UPP!

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..

Drop dead gorgeous!!!!!!
