This is me when I was an E4 as a MTI at Lackland AFB, 1996

It is the latest Cuba Terrian Deuces is working on for the Tainted Cigar campaign. Those guys are working just short of miracles.

Again you are failing to read. I said LATE 1960's, There were few units left that had F-86's in thier inventory. MOST not ALL were tasked with possible deployments to Vietnam. They were told to paint thier planes. You can show me all the static dispaly planes you want. That doesn't matter. Even my pic doesn't matter. But hey I am not a certified Subject Matter Expert on Air Force History either. Oh wait I am. If you would like I can get you unit pics of planes that are not static display in camo schemes. Which units were tasked to deplaoy but didn't. Wait and I am going to do this why? Nevermind

I see that. So what is the point? All I am doing is showing an F-86 I am working on and it seems you are here to argue or dispute my work. Hell if that is what going to go on here, then I will quit posting here.

Actually yes most were. Those ones you have shown were retired prior to our huge involvment in Vietnam. Hence I said late 1960's. Once things got spooled up in SEA, ANG units painted thier F-86's, F-102's etc in the Vietnam schemes we have come to know in anticipation of deploying.

Thanks Jeff

Sorry for linking, what can you all show me? http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cg...c;f=55;t=004695

It is coming along nicely. Still alot to do though.

Yes I will be giving out the templates. I am also releasing about 5 skins for it. 2 US Navy, 2 French and 1 Phillipine AF. But that is way down the road.

Oh yes send them my wau. :)

Very nice an smooth looking.

Yep and that about sums it up. Hell with everyone else. Lets go kick some ass! :twisted:

Yeah scoring hits is one thing shooting down is another. I have every site bookmarked about the Crusader and own every book made about it. If there is a picture on the net, I have it. I just love this plane. My next big purchase will be some of the flight manuals. Not much need for them but will be greeat to my F-8 collection. Here is an article I wrote for Avsim. http://www.avsim.com/pages/0602/f-8/f8.htm Here is a most excellent F-8 site as Ranger mentioned. http://www.cloudnet.com/~djohnson/ Here is 2 I have painted for FS2K2 F-8E RF-8G

My favorite story is of a ARVN Col and a Marine Col where having an arguement about the fate of a bridge. The ARVN Col wanted to blow it, the Marines wanted to use it. THh ARVN Col threatened to use Arty on the Marines. Just then 2 Marine F-8''s flew over loaded for CAS. The Marine Col them looked that the ARVN Col and said. " I see your 105's (Howitzers) and raise two F-8's." Needless to say the bridge was not blown.

The credit goes to Pedro Alvim. This is his masterpiece. I am just lucky enough to be advising him where I can. Thanks Pedro
