Happy B-Day, FC!

I found this pic in Detail & Scale #31 (page 34). The photo's caption reads: Another scheme used on the Crusader was the overall gull gray scheme (which was introduced in 1977) with subdued or low visibility markings. This F-8J, 150661, was assigned to recon recon squadron VFP-63, and was photographed at El Paso IAP on July 20, 1980. VFP-63 received some F-8J in the mid-1970s for training purposes in order to preserve their RF-8. And as you can see their RF-8 were painted in the same manner:

Indeed, it's beautiful. Is there an A-7A/B in the pipeline, too?

Just for fun: F-8J of VFP-63 (low-viz scheme) Oh yeah, I didn't make this one up:

It definitely beats the idea of an US built Su-33....

cgold, are you serious? Because nothing you stated in your initial post made any sense to me...

Yes! More skins for the TMF Corsair!

SFP1/WOV/WOE are on the same level, but WOI introduced some changes (including the weapon data) so that it needs its own weapon pack, which won't work with any of the previous ThirdWire games.

Very nice.

Thanks for the pic, Dave. That's really a cool skin.

Give me two weeks!
