View File Canadair CL-13 Sabre F.Mk.6 The Canadair Sabre Mk.6 was the final variant and was considered to be the "best" production Sabre ever built. It was equipped with a two-stage Orenda engine developing 7,275 lb (3,302 kg.) of static thrust. Its altitude performance and climb rate was enhanced over the Mk 5 and the reinstatement of the wing leading edge slat gave it excellent low-speed characteristics. The first production model was completed on 2 November 1954 and ultimately 655 were built with production terminating on 9 October 1958. A total of 390 Mk 6s went to the RCAF with the majority replacing the existing Canadair Sabre Mk 5s at the Air Division squadrons in West Germany and France. The main air threats to NATO in the 1950s in Central Europe were the early variants of the Soviet MiG the MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21. Based on the Korean War experience, the selection of the Mk 6 Sabre to provide an effective opposition to the MiG threat proved to be a logical one. Canada’s commitment to NATO was to provide 12 squadrons located at four bases – two in France (Marville and Grostenquin) and two in West Germany (Zweibrücken and Baden Soellingen). Initially, the contribution consisted of only Sabre aircraft; however, later it was decided to include the Avro Canada CF-100 aircraft in the defense package to provide a night and all-weather fighter capability. In addition to the RCAF deliveries, 225 Canadair Mk 6 Sabres were exported to the West German Luftwaffe, six were delivered to the Colombian Air Force, and 34 went to the South African Air Force.

Learning a new skin is hard sometimes, but the best way to do it sometimes is just to do your own personal skin to figure out what goes where. I can't promise much with the TW F-14 but I got some decals from Dave that may help skin this plane up. Also, a download confirmed that the templates used for this are the ones by pappychecksix, so thanks for the wonderful templates, other than the drop tank, which i squared away as well. Also "deadened" the reflection part of the sun. USN birds aren't flashy and lo-visibility colors work best when the sun does highlight, but not brighten the skin.

Hello all, I've been working on the Skoshi Tiger F-5C variant and will be requiring some help (I'll be asking in this thread) so If anyone can help with my questions, that would be great! First, how does one make a weapon pylon jettisonable? (I know I can do it for fuel tanks, but have no idea If it is possible to do with weapon pylons.) Second, Is it possible for the refueling apparatus to be included as a weapon (so that one can select it or not in the weapons selection menu in the game)? Thanks in advance for your help. Sophocles

The way I understand the pylons is that they're part of the model and can't be detached, unless perhaps it being shot down. And as Nyghtfall suggests making them a bomb or whatnot would only complicate things because you can't jettison the ordnance, or maybe have the ordnance jettisoned with it. I mean you'd have to alter the code to have that feature if I understand it right.

I think, it will not work, the way you want it. You have to do the pylons as some sort of weapon or tank in order to make them jettisonable at all. But that way, you can select them as active weapon while flying and drop them, like a bomb etc. I guess, that's not, what you want. Edit: Pylon as a droptank (with fuelamount = 0) could work with little negative sideeffect. You would only lose the ability to drop regular droptanks, as that would jettison the pylons too.

Sergent Simon 'Sid' Grace Escadrille C9 Epinal Caudron G4 2 confirmed victories 01/12/1915 The rain continued to fall as December started and flying was cancelled for the day. Sid decided to speak to the ground crews about an idea he'd had to paint his aircraft. After checking they had some red, green and gold paints available. Thankfully they did and he gave them the design and left them to it. A few hours later and all was done, although it took a lot longer to dry thanks to the awful weather. The weather improved enough to allow flying on the 2nd although the skies remained grey with occasional spatters of rain. The sorties were still one a day at present as the front was relatively quiet, although the local French headquarters were always keen to keep the enemy on their toes. An attack on the front lines was followed by attacks on the airfield at Buhl-Lorraine in improving weather, alongside the routine reconnaissance patrols. On one of them, the Caudrons were escorted by a trio of Nieuport scouts from Escadrille N48. Sid watched them zooming around and was more than a bit envious. He was determined to get himself into a scout escadrille sooner rather than later. Sid hadn't seen any enemy aircraft for some time now although the increasing and accurate flak bursts were more than enough to contend with. On the evening of the 8th, Capitaine Larsy called Sid to his office. Sid entered and saluted, Larsy responded. "Please Sergent, take a seat." "Thank you Capitaine" responded Sid as he sat. "So, how are you mon ami? Glad to be back in the air I assume." asked Larsy. "I'm very good thank you Capitaine and yes, it's good to be able to take the attack to the Boche again." replied Sid. "Indeed and you've been doing plenty of that since your arrival. I never really had any doubts about your determination Sergent, three years in the Légion Étrangère proves that, but I obviously didn't know about your abilities until you started flying. I clearly needn't have worried on either account." smiled Larsy. "Thank you sir for those words. I was taught well, but yes, I'm very determined to do well." replied Sid. "Well, headquarters are very impressed, those two confirmed victories, especially in this quiet sector...that was really something." continued Larsy. "Keep it up Sergent, I see great things ahead for you if you can mon Ami." concluded the Capitaine. "Thank you sir, I fully intend to....." said Sid.

I echo what Albert and Hassel have written - great stories and accounts... Mfair well done on being the last man standing in 8 RFC Flight Lieutenant Theodore Aloysius Andrews aka 'Runt' DSC HQ Sqn 1 Wing RNAS in Flanders St. Pol-sur-Mer Nieuport 10C1 Missions 59 Flying Hours 86 Confirmed 8 Claims 14 Part 15 30th November 1915 The final couple of weeks were dark days in the life of our squadron. The weather closed in and a number of the chaps took the deaths of Arthur and Williams particularly hard. in the past we had a couple of flying accidents and one or two near misses but in the 6 months of flying we had lost no one to enemy action. Noone took the deaths of those fine men harder than the CO Chris Cleaver. He was a man haunted by that fateful mission (See part 14). We had some bad weather that grounded us for 48 hours, the next couple of missions were uneventful. On the 21st November, we were escorting Rod Dallas on a bombing mission. Cleaver led B flight and it was straightforward, we delivered our eggs on the Hun and flew home. It was blasted cold, but not untoward, as we were on final approach of St.Pol-sur-Mer Cleavers plane just dropped out of the sky twisting, then exploding as it hit trees to the west of the airfield. The rest of B flight landed with all haste and ran to the crash site, but there was nothing we could do. Ground staff were there already the blaze too intense and Cleaver clearly dead. Our much loved CO We buried that fine man with a meaningful service put on by the padre and many a tear from his men. He was a fine man and much missed - looking forward we are not sure how anyone could replace him. In other much less important news, I had been awarded the claim for my Aviatik and after a tangle with two brace of Fokker EIs my confirmed victory count has risen to eight. I am now more often than not leading B flight and I feel something of the responsibility of leading some very fine men, Mulock and Keeble among them. Simon Ackart is still very much on the scene and has now two victories to his name the rumours are he will marry Monique at Christmas - I am staying far away. I write this post exhausted, mentally and emotionally drained and hope to receive some leave soon and enjoy time in Blighty, even my father says it would be good to see me. Maybe home for Christmas? Who knows. In dealing with Fokkers the trick is to get very close and aim for the exposed pilot. Once hit they go down fast. To Be Continued ...

it can also be done as an ECM pod, like we did with the add-on avionics humps for Skyhawks , or as a 'fake pilot" -- both methods were used on the Scooters, with excellent results.

I will be taken my vacation to Turkey starting the 12th of February and I’ll be returning back the 18th of March. This will be my first vacation after retirement. I’ll keep you posted with the progress of my vacation. Mostly the weather will be cold and maybe a lot of snow. I will be collecting a lot of firewood to keep the house warm.

Nice! You are so creative! Those nasty Russians are trying gain another foothold! Perhaps the French might want to get involved as in the Suez incident and provide Ouragans and Mysteres. I’ve always liked the French comic books Tanguy et Laverdure about the French Ouragans, Mysteres and Mirage llls in action in French Africa.

The War Diary of Auguste Besson, Escadrille N.23, part 6. In November, our escadrille was comprised of twelve Nieuport sesquiplanes. When I joined in the summer of 1915, we had had only eight machines. A major effort to increase the number of escadrilles and their size had been underway for many months and was bearing fruit by the end of 1915. We knew that we outnumbered the German air service, though the enemy seemed to have a technological advantage with their Fokker monoplanes, which were armed with machine guns capable of firing safely between the spinning propeller blades. In late 1915, the Fokkers were being seen in ever growing numbers along the front, scoring many victories against poorly armed and ungainly British and French observation two-seater machines. A major tragedy struck our escadrille on November 22. Captain Schlumberger was test flying a new two-seater machine, the SPAD A.1, with observer Gaston Montézuma. For some reason – probably a mechanical failure in this notoriously unreliable SPAD design – they were forced to land near the frontlines and were subsequently killed by machine gun fire coming from German positions. Their loss came as a great shock to everybody, and the memorial service held in the Châlons cathedral was a very solemn and moving ceremony. Soon after, Captain Louis Robert de Beauchamp took over as the commanding officer of the escadrille. He was also a very competent veteran aviator, having joined the air service already in 1912. Until this incident, we had been spared from suffering heavy casualties. Hence the loss of two brave men on the same day was keenly felt by everybody in the escadrille. Combined with bad news from practically every front and the lousy winter weather, this resulted in a rather gloomy atmosphere in our unit. However, this only made us more determined to prevail and get revenge on the boche for all the harm they had done to our people in the Great War. If I had to name a specific moment when there was a loss of innocence in the air war and everything began to turn into a bitter struggle for ultimate victory (losses be damned!), I would say it was that fateful day in November 1915.

a couple of comments - On the accident. Left of line up on roll out, settled in close, power/burner added too late. The LSO's call for power. On the first leaked video you can hear the engines spooling up but almost at the ramp. Ward Carroll (highly recommended!) and his two pilot and former fighter CO's does an outstanding job of analyzing it. A lot of technical stuff way better than when I was riding along in the back. my next comment builds on what Ward and his pilot colleagues, leaders of sailors, comment on regarding security and the accident board process. What. The. Hell!!!!! The "Oh Well" response by the PAO just adds fuel to the conflagration of what used to pass for security. The wholesale leaking of stuff is astonishing and jeopardizes the investigative process and the security of the ship. How does EMCON and OPSEC work if sailors can upload everything to the internet? it will be interesting to see how what's left of this process plays out.
