Thanks very much guys!

I made an icon for a SF2 Operation Darius install if anyone wants it. All inspiration from Wrench of course! Operation Darius Icon.rar

Maybe reskin the F-15E with the 45th TFW decals from your Warbirds Phantoms? They did upgrade to the Mudhen for Firebreak.

How about the Mustang as a player in a 1940s/50s campaign? I remembered seeing some Airfix box art when I was younger (the Mosquito pics set me off actually!), a quick Google search, and this was on Wiki: Sweden's Flygvapnet first recuperated four of the P-51s (two P-51Bs and two early P-51Ds) that had been diverted to Sweden during missions over Europe. In February 1945, Sweden purchased 50 P-51Ds designated J 26, which were delivered by American pilots in April and assigned to the F 16 wing at Uppsala as interceptors. In early 1946, the F 4 wing at Östersund was equipped with a second batch of 90 P-51Ds. A final batch of 21 Mustangs was purchased in 1948. In all, 161 J 26s served in the Swedish Air Force during the late 1940s. About a dozen were modified for photo reconnaissance and re-designated S 26. A few of these aircraft participated in the top secret Swedish mapping of new Soviet military installations at the Baltic coast in 1946-47 (Operation Falun), an endeavour that entailed many intentional violations of Soviet airspace. However, the Mustang could outdive any Soviet fighter of that era, so no S 26s were lost in these missions. The J 26s were replaced by De Havilland Vampires around 1950. The S 26s were replaced by S 29Cs in the early 1950s

Many happy returns!

Sure. Put me down for 'two weeks'!

Looks great! BTW is there a Draken for SF2 yet? I've seen some what-if's but no Swedish/Danish/Finnish birds.

Looking forward to that one Dave. BTW Is your Cobra the freebie AH-1F from YAP?

Great stuff! Any chance of releasing?

Gnat should be here: http://marcfighters.combatace.com/Aircrafts.htm The MiG skin is a Marcfighters too: http://marcfighters.combatace.com/page19.htm

Some stuff in my Wings Over Scandinavia install I need to transfer to my Strike Fighters2 Scandinavia install: And a Bear gets too close to Swedish airspace:

What, no SPAARRTAAA(n)! jokes?

G.222?

I believe they're working on a patch to fix the problem. Should be ready in 'two weeks!'

Fantastic! I have to say though, I was half expecting to see Colonial Vipers!

Great plane Monty, many thanks! Is it easily converted to first gen games? I'd like to add it to my DAT Spanish Civil War install.

Great map! Looking forward to flying it. Love the Russia/Georgia and the Israel/Iran ideas. Some other scenario ideas that spring to mind: 1) 1970s - Pre-revolution Iran + USA + UK vs Soviets - mid to late'70s jets, maybe a US carrier battle group in the Black Sea, a Soviet amphibious invasion of northern Iran, British jets (Buccs, Vulcans, TSR2?) operating out of Iranian bases and ranging north to strike Soviet targets well behind the lines. 2) 1980s - Soviet invasion of post-revolution Iran. Maybe part of a wider WW3? Clancy's Red Storm Rising was supposed to knockout NATO so the Sovs could seize the Persian Gulf oil fields and Harold Coyle's Sword Point pretty much plays out this scenario without the european war first. 3) Operation Warlord - Rather than a campaign, maybe a set of single missions covering the action in Richard Herman's Force of Eagles?

Do we have a Finnish skin for the BAe Hawk? http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww4/a/632/88/0

This is the SF1 download announcements. Shouldn't it be in the SF2 section?

Ooh, and Justin Beiber could play the son! In 3D!!

Just watched this fascinating documentary. http://www.channel5.com/shows/revealed/episodes/americas-planned-war-on-britain-revealed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Plan_Red I never heard of this before, but now I know where Harry Turtledove got his inspiration from. One for Wrench to get stuck into? Just imagine if the war actually happened and America won and then eventually invaded the UK. We would have wall to wall US tv and movies, a Starbucks in every street and a McDonalds on every corner......er, hang on a sec...

BBC article: Why Star Wars should be left to the fans http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14944240 As for a Top Gun sequel, how about Maverick gets shot down over some unamed Middle eastern country that flies 'MiG 23' Kfirs and his son has to steal an F-16 to go and save him! In 3D!!

Many happy returns!

I've got that book too. Great story that I'll have to re-read now. Would it make a good mission using Wrench's SoCal(?) terrain?

Hmmm. Is it worth getting Mitchell Gant out of retirement yet? Kenneth Aubrey: When the first rumors began to filter out of Japan some three years ago, our theoretical weapons strategists stood before CombatAce moderator command to explain - with much confidence - that it would take the Japanese a minimum of ten years to develop a set of battery-powered cat ears that react to "brainwaves," allowing the wearer to wiggle them. I stand before you today to explain - with much regret - that we were wrong.
