Lockheed F-104I 'Kohav' of No.106 squadron, Heyl Ha'Avir. Special thanks to guyran for suggesting the name 'Kohav' (star) for this fictional Israeli Zipper.

Lockheed F-104I of No.106 Squadron, Heyl Ha'Avir, 1964.

So many good things came out at the same time that it was slightly overlooked. But it's a great release. Well done Veltro2K and team!

Northrop Nighthawk NF.1 of No.19 Squadron, RAF South Atlantic Command, 1947.

SF2/SF2V/SF2E merged install with WOI terrain and Malvinas terrain added. I just fly single missions in whatever terrain takes my fancy!

@ ultramax - yes that is nice! Eurofighter Typhoon Mk.57 - Royal Dhimari Air Force

Kfir C7 One of the best fighter-bombers in this game!

Top notch!

Oh yes!

Tappetty, tappetty, tap. [spinners anxiously looks at his Rolex while impatiently drumming his fingers on the table] Sorry if you cannot read this small writing but your breath smells and your sister married for money...

F-23I 'Karish' of No.133 squadron (The Knights of the Twin Tail) Heyl Ha'avir

Just for a giggle, I'm running a 'Middle East' prop mod in SF2 and it's mainly populated with Regia Aeronautica and Luftwaffe WW2 aircraft as the 'enemy' and British and American WW2 aircraft set as 'friendly' although I do like to fly both sides, especially when installing a new aircraft. Indeed, my first three flights in Ed's BR-20 were resounding successes with just a few Martletts hammering away at me on my last flight but I got back to base OK and it's ever so rare for me to do three single missions on the trot BTW a quick and dirty way of doing a WW2 mod in SF2 is to use froggy's easy to follow guide to adding another install in SF2 (<A href="http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=40588">http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=40588</A> currently Post #14 and then add your chosen enemy aircraft but making them PARAN in the data.ini and skin textureset.ini and setting their attachment type to SOVIET,WP. This gives some basic weapons (e.g. FAB100, FAB250 and FAB500 bombs) and then you just need to tweak the loadout.ini's to give the AI the right weapons and also remember to use stock guns from the Gun Data otherwise they'll be pretty useless as opposition. As I said, it's quick and dirty but enormous fun.

My compliments to you and your team. It's very nice and works like a charm in SF2 as well BTW. Keep up the good work!

Apologies for the 'Karesh' typo in the line but, thankfully, the screenshot (and therefore the loading screen) are correct.

View File [Fictional] F-23E 'Karesh' (Shark) F-23E for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of Dels' excellent F-23A 'Black Widow' to give a fictional F-23E 'Karish' (Shark) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for; No.110 squadron - The Knights Of The North Squadron. No.119 Squadron - The Bat Squadron (with toned-down markings). BACKSTORY With the success of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom and F-15 Eagle in Heyl HaAvir service the Israeli's were hoping that the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas F-23A 'Black Widow' would win the USAF's ATF competition to continue their successful relationship with the McDonnell Douglas team at St. Louis but unfortunately Lockheed Martin's victory in the ATF competition looked like bringing an end to a long and enduring partnership. However in a brave move, in May 1991 the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas team secured permission from Congress to actively market the F-23 to (State Department) 'approved' nations and offered a single-seat multi-role version called the F-23E (Export) to Germany, Japan, Israel and the UK. With Germany looking for any excuse to get out of the Eurofighter consortium and facing high reunification costs they persuaded the UK to team up in a combined purchase of 200 F-23E's. In return, this led to the German and UK Governments persuading Northrop/McDonnell Douglas to make BAe and MBB prime sub-contractors for any further export sales. However, with only 200 F-23E's on order Northrop/McDonnell Douglas were not convinced that it was enough to start a viable programme but the breakthrough came in January 1994 when the USAF agreed to purchase 100 F-23A's for PACAF (the air component of United States Pacific Command) and this move finally saw Japan and Israel also join the programme with 100 F-23E's each. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-23E folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-23E folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Massive thanks to Dels for this superb add-on aircraft, it's one of the very best. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - January 6th, 2024 Submitter Spinners Submitted 10/04/2009 Category What If Hangar

Sweet!

Well, as I tell Mrs. Spinners in the bedroom, variety is the spice of life!

Republic F-105I 'Shlakh' (Osprey) - No.69 Squadron 'The Hammers' Israeli Air Force, October 1973. [big thanks to Sony Tuckson for the superb IDF skin - I've only done the clicky thing!]

<br /><br />OK. I'm away from my 'play' computer for a while but will get something sorted ASAP. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It hasn't been used officially before.

It's a good move by the IOC to give the Olympics to Rio, especially as they've never been held in South America. However, I do feel a twinge of sadness for Madrid as it's a very beautiful city.

Northrop/McDonnell Douglas Shadow GR.2A of No.41 Squadron, Royal Air Force. dk1257's KF1-AX's weapons are very nice!

Pylons can be added to anything (as an example, check out ndicki's Rhodesian Hunter) but take a look at the wingtips on the J-10A and you'll see that they are cut back and not suitably 'square' enough to take wingtip mounted rails.
