Hello everyone, I wanted to let you know that WINGSOVERISRAEL has sent me the Eurofighter Typhoon EF-2000B, two-seater model. He has been working on it with his friend for a long time and asked me to complete it.

Off to a high altitude intercept

They best I can do on the red bird logo is the box art from the old model.

I found the photo on my facebook account. The web page source is long gone, but here is the photo. This is the info from the webiste: Photo of "Hey Jude" from website of a guy commissioned to build a model of it for its pilot, Brigadier General (Ret.) Bob Baxter. Apparently, "Hey Jude" was part of an operational evaluation of TISEO over Vietnam in February of 1972.

I made a few edits to the parking on the Kitty Hawk to give a more crowded deck (this is slightly different to the version that I posted in the ODS30 thread so you will get a bit of variety in your different installs). From this stock parking.. To this.. Make sure you're on the right approach angle, it's a pretty tight squeeze onto the deck... And when you get down in one piece, I left a parking spot for you to taxi to.. And that all important text to copy into your CVA-63_DATA.ini file...

Would be a honor to paint it in GAF colors.... ;-)

Hi all, My USN Spad Steel Tiger campaign keeps sending me north of the DMZ, which is fine I suppose as when I am it's usually against logistics targets like littoral sampan bases and the like. The problem is the density and accuracy of flak against low-and-slows like the A-1. Out of three missions flown in this campaign, two have had targets in NVN and only one in the Steel Tiger zone, and my last one against a fairly deep base North of Vihn. This mission resulted in me losing the Spad after managing (somehow) to get her back out into the gulf and bailing out in vicinity of the ship: I've played a few fast jet campaigns so far, all of which have resulted in KIA or POW due to flak, but speed and being able to climb makes it feel like less of an issue unless on a bombing run or making an obvious mistake that I've learned from. So my question is, are there any tactics for avoiding flak in slow crates? I'm jinking like mad but took all the fine on the bombing lineup. Also, I took three wingmen to hopefully disperse the flak among us all, but went in first on the target.

Last news show the module has malking progress (from RAZBAM discord / X / FB / ED forum): A video show some info about Mig-23MLA HUD and LAZUR datalink system.

Now for the updated parking for the Nimitz class carriers. Again, this is slightly different to the parking slots posted in the ODS30AE forum. This is the original stock parking.. And the updated version.. Again, I've left a parking spot for your plane to taxi into after you finish your mission..

This is another decal sheet for Hey Jude. Wolfpak Decals 72-112 - "Devil's Fork" (usaf-sig.org) There is an image of the decal sheet itself that kind of shows the small red logo that it mounted low on the left side. On the sheet it is next to the "Hey Jude" decal. You can see the logo on the intake ramp of the first color photo of 307. s-l1600.jpg (1139×1600) (ebayimg.com)

The lower photo is a bird I struggled to find before. It is "Hey Jude", which was the box art for the Revell 1/32 F-4E in my childhood, H198. Revell 1/32 McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II Hey Jude, H198 (oldmodelkits.com) Here is a modern decal sheet: F-4 Phantom Hey Jude Graphics Set – Callie Graphics (callie-graphics.com) I did find a photo or two, maybe I have them linked on my Facebook?

Northrop F-5D Freedom Fighter - No.75 Squadron, Royal New Zealand Air Force, 1968 The New Zealand Government's decision to send troops to Vietnam in 1964 was highly controversial but was simply an escalation of the previous position of New Zealand assistance via various support structures such as the Civilian Surgical Team and the supply of a small non-combatant military force of engineers. The Royal New Zealand Air Force had provided transport assistance since 1962 and this had begun to increase when a sufficiently large airstrip to accommodate the Bristol Freighters of No.40 Squadron was built at Nui Dat. American pressure on both Australia and New Zealand to increase their support to US Forces in Vietnam continued and on March 31st, 1966 Sir Keith Holyoake, the New Zealand Prime Minister, announced that the Royal New Zealand Air Force would contribute to a joint RAAF/RNZAF combat wing consisting of three squadrons (two RAAF and one RNZAF) operating a version of the F-5A 'Freedom Fighter' which had just finished a succcessful five-month combat evaluation during 'Operation Skoshi Tiger'. On April 30th, 1966 No.75 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force at Ohakea was disbanded and a new No.75 Squadron was formed on the following day at Bien Hoa Air Base in South-Central southern Vietnam operating a handful of F-5A's and F-5B's loaned from USAF stocks. Experiences gained from 'Skoshi Tiger' were incorporated into a new version of the basic F-5A designated as the F-5D and initial deliveries were made to No.75 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during August 1966 and the squadron were declared operational at the end of September 1966. The joint RAAF/RNZAF combat wing at Bien Hoa operated in ground-attack operations over South Vietnam and gained an enviable reputation for bombing accuracy and aircraft availability. When the joint RAAF/RNZAF combat wing finally ceased operations at the end of 1971 only eleven F-5D's had been lost over Vietnam - nine to enemy ground fire and two due to an unfortunate collision at take-off. All remaining aircraft were handed over to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force in 1972 in a move financed by the Nixon administration as part of the wider policy of 'Vietnamization'.

Viva Argentina!

holding formation on an unwilling wingman is part of the challenge of the thread of course some mission briefs are harder than others damn, he might make it up here because,..... i was inverted and for those that wanted the numbers on that;

Set it in the clouds but managed to get close, though i need to work on my formation flying.
