Working my way south from Nieuwpoort along the Yser canal and the flooded areas.....tile by tile...what did I start and why??? PS: Red stuff is still wip WIP

friends don't let friends make low level bombing runs without snakeyes bombs

Catch 22

True Story I definitely didn't just make up In 1972 Lt Belenko was sent in a secret asignment to Vietnam to try the MiG-25 against the USAF B-52s. Turns out the targets had enough energy powering the ECMs to light up Hanoi Managed to get one, somehow. Wondering who was Nixon so pissed with to send that amount of though love. After getting assigned a mission so full of BS, Lt Belenko started to think about defecting. The rest is History EDIT: Grammar

I was looking on website about a recent news events and the ads caught my eye. I had no idea the A-10 was such a versatile aircraft. I knew it was designed to turn tanks to Swiss Cheese. But to be used as an air ambulance?

Every project goes through a stage where you're just grinding away. Success belongs to the people who can force themselves through it and finish the job instead of switching to another project. Flanders is looking great so far! This may be your most ambitious project yet. Keep plugging away, it's going to be beautiful when it's done.

Just had to pause, because for a moment this looked like pretty good framing. Looking left from an F-106, over Haiphong, at the MiG-17s my wingman and i had just shot down with AIM-4Fs durign a sweep, while B-57s hit the docks. I wish i paused it just a couple of frames earlier when the bombs were going off in the background.

Gotta be the Hun. Always felt slow and lumbering and you better hope you can bring those guns on target because AIM-9Bs suck. Redemption came towards the end of a CAS mission in NATO Fighters in WOE. Shooting down a MiG-19 in a turning fight in a clean F-100 felt great. I'll do ground attack in the F-100 all day but for the love of god keep me away from fighter sweep and intercepts. Also not so much of an aircraft's redemption story, but when I finally learned how to evade SA-2s and SA-6s without ECM or chaff. Sadly I still haven't figured out how to evade SA-8s. Apparently diving for the deck, dumping 20 chaff, ECM on, and a HARM headed for the launcher isn't enough to evade. Haven't survived a single Desert Storm campaign yet...

"Look the squadron leader might be upset we leveled half the town doing it, but the damnevilcommbuilding is no more!" "You unload it!" "No, you unload it!" "Wait...this isn't my gate. This isn't even the right airport!"

I've felt this way about many planes over the years. First I don't care much for the planes but when I begin flying them I learn a new respect and admiration for them. Currently for me it's the MiG-15. I didn't hate the plane over the years, just didn't pay much attention to it except to know it was at first the foil for the F-86 Sabre in Korea. I have MiG-15s in SF1, SF2, CFS2, FSX/MSF 2004, and IL2. I love flying this little bird. I drool over the DCS MiG-15 and F-86. Might get them, but wish there was a full Korean Air War install for DCS. Recently I repainted Pasko's old SF1 MiG-15 and even with the repainted modified A-4B cockpit simulating the MiG-15 cockpit, I still enjoy flying this old plane. Always some new plane to get to know and enjoy.

Looks very muddy

I have SA-8s set as mobile_AAA instead of SAMs as they appear more often. Let's say my Phantom campaigns in 1979 are brief. USN Phantoms do well over Iceland though.

Thanks so much Russ, he looks great in the Hawk.. But in the Gnat, it looks like the Flintstones are flying the plane! I reverted back to the PilotGnat that came with the model and swapped in your .bmp so what I now have at least fits in the cockpit and has a bit of red. which is good enough for me...

No what if. It was real:

Stormbird Rising

For me, it would probably be the Thud. I hated the thing with a passion when I bought WoE on Steam, but have recently grown to love the F-105, such a joy to fly fast. Tornado GR.1/4 would be another one, I wasn't a fan of ground attack, and then I flew it in Ace Combat 5, I knew what I was missing. It's now one of my favorite aircraft of all time.

View File Antonov An-26 "Curl" After successful operations of the An-24T tactical transport in austere locations, interest in a version with a retractable cargo ramp increased. Initial studies for he retractable ramp were carried out as part of the projected An-40 medium transport. When given the go-ahead for the An-26 in March 1968, the Antonov OKB adapted the ramp design of the An-40 to the An-24 fuselage, resulting in the An-26. Particular attention was given to the military mission, and the majority of early An-26 production was delivered to the VTA (voyenno-transportnaya aviatsiya). Using the majority of the An-24 airframe, with its high-set cantilevered wings, twin turboprops and stalky main undercarriage, the An-26 included military equipment, such as tip-up paratroop canvas seats, an overhead traveling hoist, bulged observation windows and parachute static line attachment cables. The An-26 made its public debut at the 27th Paris Air Show at Le Bourget where the second prototype, CCCP-26184 (c/n00202), was shown in the static aircraft park. The An-26 is also manufactured without a license agreement in China by the Xian Aircraft factory as the Y-14, later changed to be included in the Xian Y7 series.

Yser canal and Nieuwpoort...well, what's left of it

DUAL_MODE_JAMMER is the 3rd NOISE_JAMMER = reduces detection distance On player aircraft, target is invisible until radar strength overpowers jammer strength DECEPTIVE_JAMMER = denies/breaks lock Target aircraft is visible on the scope but cant be locked-up until rdr strength > jammer strength Dual mode combines N+D Only internal (aircraft data) jammers/ecm/decoys are functioning with AI planes (game bug)

well the Europeans are done. now on to las norte americanos/les nord-américains...

sf2 .....F 15...

I got your rising Sun Alright LOL

YAP, DAT and YAK(arov79) USMC helos, Vietnam...

well, when youre ground crews are ready to come home

January 20th, 1991, Operazione Locusta Tornado Time.

Yes seaplane bases are a real option/possibility In the meantime...added little lakes and 'wet' fields (shimmering in the distance)

Now we're talking.... still a long road

was a pain gettin there, but this is the sharpest one yet imo. lotta scratch- ish detail work if this modding thing doesnt work out, might want to try making obscure airline decal sheets before getting the number to that truck driving school on tv

Havent started yet with the targets. So this is just a test with a coastal town...

just a shot out of Souli´s paintshop

almost ready for mapping

que hay por ahora nuevo y volable para el futuro mod Malvinas Mirage IIIEA, Dagger, Sea Harrier, A4B,Q Y C que todavía están en proceso de pintura.

airfield recce in Iceland boss is gonna be mad if his bird gets hit nice view, but shouldnt we get back on the deck?
