  1. North American (Rockwell) F-100G Super Sabre - 131st TFS, 104th TFW, Massachusetts ANG, 1982 President James Earl 'Jimmy' Carter started his presidency in January 1977 with a detailed review of the US military budget and his most high-profile decision was the cancellation of the Rockwell B-1A bomber programme in June 1977. But many smaller programmes were cut or cancelled too along with the postponement of the re-equipping of TAC and ANG units with new aircraft types. F-16A and A-10A production was slowed down and many TAC and ANG units were instructed to hold on to their F-100's and F-105's for an indefinate period. In a genuine (but actually insulting) compensatory gesture Rockwell were given a $45million contract to upgrade 90 F-100D's for continued service with the ANG with the aircraft emerging from their Columbus, Ohio plant as F-100G's with refurbished engines, partially re-skinned wings and minor avionics upgrades. The first unit to receive F-100G's was the 131st Tactical Fighter Squadron based at Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield who had been scheduled to convert from the F-100D to A-10A's but instead received F-100G's which served until 1986. Once again, big thanks to Henrik (hgbn) for uploading his F-100D template.
  2. View File [Fictional] Supermarine Spitfire F.Mk22 'Norway' Supermarine Spitfire F.Mk 22 - Royal Norwegian Air Force This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Spitfire F.Mk 22 to give a fictional Norwegian Spitfire F.Mk 22 with markings for the following squadrons; No.331 Squadron RNoAF in standard RAF Camo. No.332 Squadron RNoAF in NMF/Silver finish. No.91 Squadron RAF in standard RAF Camo (not a real world user). This mod requires AI Plane Pack 2 and should not conflict with the stock Third Wire Spitfire F.Mk 22. I have elected NOT to make this Spitfire F.Mk 22 nation specific for the RNoAF but have kept it as RAF so as to allow other future skins to be dropped in. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SpitfireF22 folder into your main Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SpitfireF22 folder into your main Decals folder. At this point it might be a good idea to change the pilot to whatever you've got in your install suitable for the early post-war period. CREDITS Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to Kesselbrut for the Spitfire cockpit (an oldie but goldie). And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
