  1. where is that Privateer from? that could be useful even into early cold war
  2. "LT, how did you get such a good pic of the shipyard?" "Well see, I was inverted" As soon as the Shareef had cleared the square; They began to wail

  5. Okay History Buffs, Veteran Navy, Cold War Researchers

    also recalled from that era "In November of 1984, shortly before Gorbachev came to power, a Typhoon class Soviet submarine sub surfaced just south of the Grand Banks.It then sank in deep water, apparently suffering a radiation problem.Unconfirmed reports indicated some of the crew were rescued. But according to repeated statements by both Soviet and American governmentsnothing of what you are about to see... ever happened" ok, not historical, but given the topic i couldnt resist. let you all figure out what from tho

  10. yes i (likely speaking for the rest) thinks its awesome enough working with historical nose arts on the big boys, i've been having to either recreate some things from near scratch, pull from totally seperate sources(typically on being told it was from album cover art) or trace over very blown up original and redo (ok thats probably near scratch too) personally, i think i can sorta tell where theres a join of the two parts in the displayed tga, and not at all in game screenie (which is the ultimate goal).
  11. MITO: Pease AFB

    https://theaviationgeekclub.com/former-kc-135-pilot-explains-how-a-typical-tanker-fb-111-minimum-interval-takeoff-mito-took-place/?fbclid=IwAR34lxPuVbiM2fu7tTrRq6ACbb8Aec4gqrG_m8PcYDaAGWRt0L5x-acxvrs pretty good article, with a good video at the end
  12. while i wasnt at Bastion, that brings back memories. the tents, AC units, and t barriers are pretty common to anyone whose gone to that place called Southwest Asia and while at Kandahar, i liked to hang out on the Brit side more than the US. often cheaper stuff; smokes at the NAAFI, coffee at that shop and gettin pies and Irn Bru at Heroes. pretty good stories too once the guys figured out they didnt have to behave round this Yank better sense of humor than the folks AAFES brought in too. a funny memory of the year was buying cigarettes at the NAAFI (Brit PX). NOTE: European cigarette warning labels do not say "The Surgeon General says...." but rather "SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU" so, my clerk at the register asks me if i want SMOKING IS BAD FOR THE SKIN or SMOKERS DIE YOUNGER the thing you find funny some days. and i picked die younger.
  13. not sure too many are working on Sea Kings right now if you have Photoshop (or picked up GIMP for free) we would be glad to talk you through creating one yourself though. everyones gotta start somewhere
  14. bumpin this back as im on a slight pause with SAC and ANG Bones while i get some research done on McConnell my thoughts on this, units:a repurposed 85 Wing (Southern Bomber Command rather than Air Lift Group) featuring No 12 and No 460 or 467 Sqns. 460 is currently an intel unit, but with the return of 4 engined bombers i think it would get renamed and the historically signifigant unit resume flying bombers. No 12 was part of the original 85 Wing as they were gearing up for Japan in mid 1945. me thinks an RAAF getting Bones in the late 2010s would be more nostalgic than one gettin them in the 90s Serials: while Spinners features A43 series, it was allocated to RQ-7 drones. A55 is not allocated (as of 2019) and the last 3 digits could simply be the last 3 of USAF serial like with the Pigs. how many are we envisioning transferring and when? tail markings: maybe a kangaroo with a cruise missile silohuette? skin would be all grey unless your telling me they got em before 95 JosefK, will let you do load outs and any localized radar or EW work, though will try to get exhuast edits to ya as soon as i have them on the _86. as it is currently, just isnt as spectacular as on the real thing or even videos of such
  15. i thought you got the 50% if you had the 5 original games, not if you also had half the DLCs
  16. Decals

    a laugh and a thanks (for all the advice you give the community at large) jarek
  17. these are some squadron patches, it esp looks similar in coloring to the second (a bit bluer) found this pic of the same shot, seems a little clearer but the snake is still kind of small when box selected
  18. Guessin the pic to be pre ODS, would say 1LT Karen Walden
  19. wrong A-12, the one we have is the cancelled USN strike bird there is a YF-12 on that other site
  20. Decals

    that looks familiar (and i havent worked on the Mossie)
  21. good deal for those just getting into this. but if you've already bought the 5 games (and yes i saw the 50% for that ) me thinks you've gotten the community versions of the rest just sayin, could be a bigger draw than sales or crowdfunding
  22. very nice Ron, though i think you planned out the SEAD for this posted mission (FB-111s as Weasels)
  23. Dyess 1989 dont mind me, just some....
