The German AF has some on contract as EW Aggressors. I believe they are -35s though and only a couple of -25s left. Anyhow, they carry a variety of pods under the wings to simulate other aircraft or threats to ships during exercises. Could be something to add. Storm

Nice skin. That pair 'o dice is excellent on that red nose. Have to keep my head on a swivel for that one.

Thats awesome! Relaxing the regs a bit during a deployment, not only helps with morale, but also shows that the focus is actually on the war. There are several Sr NCOs and E-9s that need that small reminder. BTW, I've refueled that dude over the 'Stan. He's a nice chap.

Thanks for the early gift Geo. D/Ling now. Storm

Very nice! That definately looks the part. Well done. Storm P.S. Do you need cockpit photos?

Love it! Looking forward to D/Ling it. Greetings from Espana! Storm

Each of the CFM-56 engines has 22,000lbs of thrust. We've got no thrust reversers. Basic weight for an R-model is about 120,000lbs giver or take 3K. A jet with the MPRS pods will add about 5K and an R/T (receiver/tanker) is about 123K. The only thing I'm thinking is that the fuselage looks a bit too fat. Just my eye. I love her though! Jeff

<S>

Let me know what kind of info you need on it (weights, fuel per tank, etc...) I'm looking forward to this. Storm

I'm updating the F3D Skyknight_data based upon info I'm pulling from the Ginter book. So far I've fixed a few factors that were slightly off on the [DetectSytem] and [FlightControl] entries. I've been pouring through the Knowledge Base for explanations of values, but couldnt find anything other that the AI entries that Dave added. So, what values did TK use for weights and thrust, etc...? Thanks! Storm

Great work Dave! Do you want walkaround photos of the CO's jet from VMA-542? Cheers, Jeff

Well, Minot AFB failing their latest Nuclear ORI didnt help much. Especially after they were the ones who flew with lives nukes. Personally, I'm glad these two are out. The above is a drop in the bucket as to the damage they've done to this Air Force. It will take years to correct it all. Storm

Yea, I didnt know if you were around anymore. Didnt think to PM. I read all that on your site as well, but didnt see how long ago you wrote it. That is a gorgeous Tigercat. Thanks! Storm

Get well Marc.

Thank you for the contact info. It's worth a shot. Plus I'm a USAF aviator, so I'm hoping that allows me a bit more trust that I'm not a spy. I'd just like to see their Vipers in action, taking off and landing. Plus those T-33 are just wasting away at the end of the runway. Cheers, Storm

Now that is the skin I'm after. I love the flat black scheme. I'm working on one for the F3D Skyknight since the only ones are blue. As for any errors, the Stars-n-Bars look too far forward on the VC-3 machine.

Looks like I scored a Coronet next week and one of our stops will be Crete. I'd like to contact their equivalent to a PA officer to request a few hours shooting their F-16s and retired T-33s at the far end of the base. I know this is a long shot, but you never know. Storm

Thats awesome. Hopefully you can track the owner down and add it. Thanks

He has some screenshots of his Tigercats on his site, but there was nothing date wise to indicate how far along he was. I'll wait and see what becomes of them. As for the Corsair -5N, I was going to use the F4U-2 that you have in the download section and edit accordingly until something more permanent shows up. Was just curious if someone had already done a VMF(N)-513 skin so that I wasnt redoing swork already competed. I like your idea about the cockpit/radar. Thanks Kevin! Jeff

I did some tinkering around and got the UPK-23-250 gunpods to work on the Hip. That is one of it's real world loadouts, so I'm sticking with authenticity. Nothing cosmic, go into the weaponsdata and make them exportable, then add them to your loadout.ini Viola', rockets and guns. Storm

Wow, those are jaw dropping! That T-38 should be darn near perfect since you've got the 1:1 to use, eh? Storm

Title says it all. His Tigercats will fill some holes in my Korea installation. On that note, are they're any skins for the F4U-5N Nightfighter? Might have to dust off the ol' paint brush. TIA!

Yep, tried to get the F-94 today and it's just the computer text mess. Storm

I guess "these reliable sources" have never heard of a non-disclosure statement.

Oh
