Many happy returns guys!

If they're going cheap maybe we could buy some, build a hangar in the basement of the Combatace Tower and a lift to the helipad on the roof?

Very sad news. I suppose he ate the fish.

Only four? http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/h/richard-herman/ Anyone read the new one? I've only just noticed it was published this year. Kevin, in Warbirds there's a mention of stealth recon planes operating out of a remote desert in Saudi's 'empty quarter'. Perhaps a cameo appearance by the F-19 in the campaign would be in order? And then we can relive the old Microprose stealth missions against Iran too

A new player for my Wings Over Timor install (amongst others). Thanks for the great job Eric.

Many happy returns!

Yes I've read that passage many times, but in that case wouldn't the F-20s have been painted in desert camo like the F-5s? http://combatace.com/files/file/2805-sauditigerzip/ Also on the web I found a modeller's attempt to make a Tiger Force F-20 and he says he actually corresponded with Barrett Tillman, who said that he envisaged the F-20s to be wearing the same colours as the Saudi F-5: It was my intent to do this particular plane as a member of the fictional Tiger Force, but there was one slight problem—I didn’t know what the paint scheme was. The book’s interior painting was not much help as the artist drew up the F-20 in the prototype color of BMW metallic grey. I spent an evening flipping thru the novel to find marking information, but I couldn’t find any. Out of desperation, I emailed the author, Barrett Tillman, and got a quick reply. Mr Tillman explained to me that he saw the F-20s using the same paint scheme as Saudi Arabia’s F-5E Tigers. http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/mod/us/leef20.htm Having said all that, for the reasons in my post above, I still think that they should be grey! @Riley64, have you read any of Richard Herman's novels, starting with 'The Warbirds'? IMHO they're tailor made for campaigns in the Thirdwire sims.

Did someone mention Warriors? F-20 Tigershark, Black Squadron, Tiger Force, RSAF Combat over the Red Sea against Israeli F-15s & F-16s The skin is just a re-decalling of one of Gepard's skins that came with the plane. I figured that as Tiger Force were primarily an air to air unit they would wear grey like the Saudi F-15s and Tornado F-3s rather than desert camo like their F-5s and attack Tornado GR.1s. Also, it doesn't say anywhere in the book what colours they wear - and I've spent the last week re-reading my copy to check!

Many happy returns Ant!

Any progress on these pilots yet guys?

My favourite episode!

Best: Apocalypse Now Raiders of the Lost Ark Ferris Beuller's Day Off Worse: Highlander 2 (why did they bother with the alien planet storyline?) Iron Eagle 2 (good idea but lousy execution) 1984 (Even Richard Burton & John Hurt couldn't save it)

Many happy returns my friend.

Thanks for the update Kevin.

Great terrain mate! My B-52s keep getting ambushed by MiG-29s though

Thanks for all the birthday wishes guys!

Many happy returns!

Israeli Dakotas also had the later brown/sand/green camo and eventually grey too. http://www.iafe.net/Dakota%20.htm

I think they used them in WW2. I seem to remember reading about blow-up Shermans at various bases around Southern England combined with fake radio traffic so the Germans wouldn't know which units were operating from where. My daughter thought the Russian tank on the BBC news this morning was a great alternative to a bouncy castle! Anyone know where I can hire one for her birthday party?

Have you been reading this website Spinners? http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=30764&st=0&p=332374& Some nice ideas for other potential users too - Iran, China...

PvtDK are you asking if you can have a squadron in a campaign that flies a mix of different aircraft, say like in Area 88? I think the answer to that is no.
