Many happy returns my friend

Au Revoir La France! Meanwhile, in Iran..... (Yeah, I know it's a DAT Cobra but I couldn't resist using the Iranian skin).

TO: JFC SHAPE FROM: EC 01.003 'Navarre' ARMEE DE L'AIR ALL 10 AIRCRAFT OF INITIAL DEPLOYMENT NOW FULLY OPERATIONAL AT DOHA INT'L. COMMENCING RECON AND SURFACE SURVEILLANCE OPERATIONS AT THIS TIME.

TO: JFC SHAPE FROM: EC 01.003 'Navarre' ARMEE DE L'AIR THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT HAS AUTHORISED THE DEPLOYMENT OF A DETACHMENT OF MIRAGE 2000D R2 STRIKE AIRCRAFT TO SUPPORT NATO EFFORTS IN OPERATION DARIUS. MIRAGE 2000D IS OPTIMISED FOR ATTACK AND ANTI-SHIP WITH PGM AND CAN BE TASKED WITH RECON, ARMED RECON, CAS AND SEAD IF NECESSARY. INITIAL DEPLOYMENT OF 10 AIRCRAFT TO BE LAUNCHED AT 21.00Z 7 NOVEMBER 2011 AND CAN BE DOUBLED TO FULL SQUADRON STRENGTH WITHIN 24 HOURS OF GO SIGNAL. AIRCRAFT WILL DEPLOY TO DOHA INT'L TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF QATARI MIRAGE 2000 WEAPONS AND SUPPORT FACILITIES UNLESS ADVISED OTHERWISE.

'Nellis Range' sounds great. Is there somewhere for the Aggressor jets to fly from or do they use the second runway?

DWCAce I suggest you scroll through this thread to pick up the downloads. BTW - Dave is it too late for me to report for duty? A mission a week should be doable for me IRL. I'll take a French Mirage 2000D squadron. Both UAE & Qatar operate the Mirage 2000 so we can be based at one of their air bases to take the load off the Saudi & Kuwaiti fields. Please advise. Unless there's a French skin available for the KC-135 we'll need tanker support from drogue equipped aircraft.

Many Happy Returns!

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
