334th TFS...circa 1965

ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey is set to deliver an undisclosed number of armed drones to Kuwait in a contract worth $370 million, Turkish defence firm Baykar said on Wednesday. “A contract worth $370 million was signed with Kuwait Defence Ministry to export Bayraktar TB2 drones,” Baykar said in a statement. The statement did not reveal how many drones would be delivered to Kuwait or when. “Baykar won out in competition with significant firms from America, Europe and China, in the (bidding) process going on since 2019,” the statement said. It added that with Kuwait the number of countries that signed contracts for the Bayraktar TB2 had increased to 28.

L-39ZA Albatros BTW. The armament with R-3S (AA-2 Atoll) was rather a joke then a real option. The L-39 was to slow to reach the minimum lauch speed of the Atoll. Only in dive the speed could be reached. Thatswhy this armament was tactical nonsense.

That's an understatement, if I ever saw one!!!! LOL!!!

Welcom to Bayraktar club! I wait for Kuwait skin)

thanks wilches!!!! I actually found the paint kit, for the C model. But as it has MANY meshes in common, it can be used for the A & B. Now, research for the JASDF version ...:)

View File T-34A Mentor for Argentina First, my congratulations to russouk2004 for the bird! A special thanks to Wrench for the support. The Beechcraft Mentor in the Argentine Air Force By the mid-50s, the Air Force required a basic trainer capable of replacing the nationally manufactured I.Ae.22 DL and the Fiat G-46, then in service. The choice fell on the modern Beechcraft B-45 Mentor that just three years ago had entered service with the USAF. The contract signed with the North American company in 1956 contemplated the acquisition of 15 units manufactured at the Beechcraft plant located in Kansas and another 75 that would come in kit form to be assembled at the Military Aviation Factory. The 15 examples manufactured in the United States arrived in the country in flight on June 20, 1957, while the assembly of the other 75 began in 1959 and ended in 1962. The first example manufactured in Córdoba took flight on 11/1 /1959. Initially, the Mentors entered service with Training Group I of the I Morón Air Brigade, where they served between 1962 and 1970, later they would move to the VII Morón Air Brigade and finally they would form part of the Military Aviation School. Some copies were in service in the Reconquista Military Air Detachment, between 1962 and 1963, these copies would later go to the Directorate of Development, being re-registered as LQ-..., these devices would go to the EAM in 1969. In 1979, 50 new 260 hp Continental IO-470-N12B engines were purchased to re-engine the 41 Mentor in operation at that time, the works were carried out in the Material Area of Río IV. Mentor in action: Despite being a pure trainer, the T-34 served during the 70s as reconnaissance and aerial observation aircraft in search and attack of insurgent positions during Operation Independence, carried out on the soil of the province of Tucumán and in Operation Torrión. The last days of the Mentor:. Between 1996 and 1999, the former LMAASA proceeded to carry out structural reinforcement, avionics renewal and fine-tuning work on 30 still-operable Mentors, this served for a handful of copies to continue flying until the year 2011, at which time they are permanently discharged after almost 50 years of service. On September 18, 2001, a fatal accident occurred during the baptism flight of the first-year cadets of the Military Aviation School, when one of the aircraft crashed after brushing the control tower with its wing, killing its two occupants. . From that moment on, the fame of the Mentor was undermined, but its operation continued, until on October 8, 2010, the E-046 crashed after taking off, due to a planted engine. Finally, in August 2012, the Air Force decides to decommission the venerable T-34 Mentor. In 2002 and 2003, two second-hand units were acquired from the Uruguayan Air Force, which in turn had received them from the Spanish Air Force." extract from here https://amilarg.com.ar/beech-t-34.html (What a site!) I strongly recommend you to fly it over the fantastic Gepard´s new Rio de La Plata terrain. Thanks boss! Have fun!!! Submitter Wilches Submitted 01/18/2023 Category Other  

Sent. Waiting approval. More to come!

I used an X-52 Pro for many years and loved it. It still works, but the twist rudder axis needs to be cleaned/replaced. My X-52 Pro was from the initial release by Saitek. The quality was great long hours every day over a lot of years. Later batches under the MadCatz years were notorious for inconsistent quality. I have no personal experience with the Logitech generation of Saitek sticks. If they are making them as good as Saitek once did, I would go with an X-52 Pro.

McDonnell Douglas Phantom F-4M - 497th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Ubon, Thailand, 1980 During late 1966 with the USA getting more and more embroiled in the Vietnam war it was decided to re-equip several USAFE units with the licence-built British Rolls-Royce Spey powered F-4M so as to release older tactical aircraft such as the F-100D and F-105D for Vietnam where attrition was now a very serious issue. McDonnell Douglas had already brought together a UK sub-contracting team consisting of BAC, Hawker Siddeley, Rolls-Royce (engines) and Shorts with final assembly and flight testing being carried out at St. Louis but, with one eye on the European market, McDonnell Douglas moved final assembly to Brough (North Humberside) with flight testing at Holme on Spalding Moor. This decision came a bit late for the Royal Navy whose F-4K aircraft continued to be assembled and flight tested in the USA but all F-4M's were produced in the UK with all odd production numbers being allocated to the RAF and all even numbers to the USAFE with Lakenheath and Bitburg becoming the first USAFE wings to re-equip with the type. Entering service with the 48th Tactical Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath in England in 1970 the F-4M's received a modest upgrade during 1973-1974 to emerge with the Marconi ARI18228 RWR mounted on the fintip and also gained 'slimer' formation-keeping strip lights. The USAF F-4M's had a relatively long career with USAFE and were eventually replaced by F-15E's during 1990 and just missed out on participation in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Logitech 3d.

Seen you uploaded the Mentors, any chance of any of this? Uruguay and Argentina, nice for Rio de la Plata Terrain.

I'll just leave this here, and let you all figure it out... (evil grin)

Yeah I forgot to remove the wires...I correct, it has cables. I jumped at the chance to paint the simpler skin as soon as I was able to download the stencil, however I realized this won't be a simple skin only mod as the Latin Orions have different antennas, other positions in the reconnaissance pods and they don't have dispensers... in short, you will need a fake pilot

Buckeye!

you know, one of my ideas that never progressed too far was to have the Lexington take on some TA-4s and Stoofs or Sea Kings for convoy escort duty, as well as a major what if with the above on a Forrestal that actually became a CVT. mandatory screenie (not my work, but a glimpse into the future)

It hurts a little bit and smells strange, but no problem at all. We will fix it later.

Rio de la Plata terrain. Is still work in progress. I hope that i can finish a first version till end of the year. Mandatory screenshot: The weapon load is not technical correct, but the bird looks cool with two Exocet.

RAF Typhoon with Storm Shadow cruise missiles Storm Shadow is an Anglo-French low-observable, long-range, air-launched cruise missile developed since 1994 by Matra and British Aerospace, and now manufactured by MBDA. Storm Shadow is the weapon's British appellation. In French service, it is called SCALP-EG.

Looks like he is going on a business trip lol 😆

I added this loadout a week ago to my Typhoons. in the last photo he looks like he's carrying two heavy suitcases

New slimers added, spelling of Nite Owls amended (lol - two nations divided by a common language) and a cute little stencilled owl added.
