             Charlie Vipers on Guard
             Part 2: Block 30s in the 90s
This mod is the second of three to represent the various versions of the F-16C/D in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s. It was a busy time with potential conflicts in Korea and active operations ongoing over Iraq and the Balkans. This mod aims to show the
units as they were at that time. Included is a  F-16D Block 30 modified from the Aggressor F-16D to cover the two seaters in each unit that had them.

Included
Team Viper F-16C Block 30
Modified Team Viper F-16D Block 30
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
new hangar and loading screens
NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load teh same weapons.
 ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
LOADING SCREEN NOTE: I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available. In the F-16C_B30.iniyou will find these lines
         LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_121.jpg
        //LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_457.jpg
        //LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_512.jpg
installing this mod will have default loading screen with the New Jersey ANG aircraft. if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.

Texas Falcons:
 F-16s over the Lone Star State 1990-1999
This mod represents the various models of F-16 that were in service in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve during the 1990s. These units include the
- 457th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Fort Worth
- 704th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Bergstrom AFB
- 111th Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Ellington ANGB
- 182d  Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Lackland AFB
These units have utilized a range of F-16 models over the years and a wider range of missions. The 704th deactivated in 1996, and the 111th converted to MQ-1s in 2009. But the 457th and 182d are still going strong as Viper operators today
Included
Team Viper F-16C Blocks 25, 30, 32
Modified Team Viper F-16A/B Block OCU, F-16D Block 30
new F-16A/B Block 15 ADF, F-16D Blocks 25 and 30
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
new hangar and loading screens
NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load teh same weapons.
Other Note: If there is not a two seater assigned to a unit, there will not be a D model skin for that unit. I have checked about a dozen times to be sure I wasnt missing something

Vipers Over Bosnia
    Part 1: USAFE F-16C/Ds During Operation Deny Flight
In April 1993, NATO had documented over 500 unauthorized military flights over Bosnian airspace since the United Nations passed Resolution 781 that prohibited those flights. The Umited Nations then passed Resolution 816 that extended the flight ban to all fixed and rotary wing in the country and authorized memeber states to use all measures need to comply.
On 12 April 1993, NATO began Operation Deny Flight, combat air patrols to enforce the no fly zone over Bosnia Herzogovina. In June 1993, Resolution 836 allowed NATO to also provide close air support to UNPROFOR on request (This was not often used because requests had to go to the UN in New York, then to NATO then back to the pilots and ground forces involved). As a result, the typical loadout was of air to air missiles as well as a pair of bombs and jaming pod.
The closest American air base to the conflict zone was Aviano AB in Italy. Many US Fighter units forward deployed there at the beginning, including elements of the 86th Fighter Wing (512th and 526th Fighter Squadrons) which was transitioning from the F-16C Block 30 to the F-16C Block 40. This unit was in the middle of that transition on 28 Feb 1994 when elements of the 526th FS engaged 6 Serbian J-21 jets with the USAF claiming 4 downed (the Serbs claim 5 were lost).
Later in 1994, the 86th Wing ceased fighter operations and the two squadrons were moved to Aviano to become part of the 31st Fighter Wing (510th FS and 555th FS). These squadrons continued operations over Bosnia through the shoot down incident on 2 Jun 1995 and the air strikes conducted as part of Operation Deliberate Force.
With the adopting of the Dayton Peace Accords, Deny Flight was determined to no longer be necessary and terminated on 15 December 1995.
This mod represents the four USAFE main F-16 squadrons that took part, the 512th FS Dragons, 526th FS Knights, 510th FS Buzzards, and 555th FS Triple Nickel. It also covers the two different blocks of F-16 flown at the time (30 and 40)
 
Included
F-16C Block 30 and 40, F-16D Block 40
new F-16D Block 40
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
new hangar and loading screens
NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. The best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.

            BOEING B-47E STRATOJET by COYOTE AEROSPACE
This is a semi historical mod to represent the B-47E through its career as SACs most numerous bomber.
It is semi historical because there were so many variations on equipment and markings across 1300+ aircraft over its 12 year career that it is impossible to accurately represent all of them. Instead, all major units that could be represented are (in other skin packs) and the general paint schemes used during the appropriate eras are modded for the forward deployments known as Operation REFLEX. Further, new nuclear weapons have been included.
To keep file sizes down somewhat, unit skins will be release by numbered air force and available in the SF2 Skins download section

    INSTALLATION
unzip installation folder
cut and paste to desired mods folder
allow overwrites (some effects and weapons mainly)
IF YOU HAVE THE B28 NUCLEAR WEAPONS ALREADY FROM ANOTHER MOD
use caution. I have set the nuclear weapons to a specific station code as NUC. Other mods featuring the B28 weapon do not have this yet, although i intend to do a comprehensive ini edit later this year across many weapons and aircraft
    INCLUDED
B-47E(53) and B-47(57) aircraft
Operation Reflex skins, and one unit skin for each aircraft)
Period accurate M64 and M65 bombs
B28 nuclear weapons, 350Kt and 1.1MT yields

FB B-47 Stratojet (Model 450) Strategic Bomber group .....    very valuable source of information on markings and weapons
    Known Issues
- At this time there are not models for the RATO pods that were commonly used by the B-47. I have a method figured out for it,
but we would need someone to model the horsecollar device with 33 JATO bottles
- Not every upgrade to the Stratojet is modeled. Again, there were 1300+ aircraft built, and 6 phases for upgrades. The (53) roughly represents
the aircraft after introduction, the (57) in between Phase 3 and 4. Anyone that would like to work any fakepilot mods to represent each of the
6 phases, as well as modifications like TEE TOWN would be welcomed.
- while online sources state the 341st Bomb Wing operated Stratojets, veteran and book sources could not even find proof of operation, let alone
marking information (they came through on all other Wings). Therefore I have not included this Bomb Wing in the mod.
- The "afterburner" trick to use water injection on take off is in effect, from 99-100%. If you want realism, and to not be visible across the
continent, dont exceed 97% power in flight.

    Lockheed C-141B Starlifter  by Coyote Aerospace
This mod is a new version of the C-141B Starlifter by Veltro2K, with skins by daddyairplanes
It features several historical skins covering several important periods in the Starlifters B/C model career. European One camoflage is applied as a tga skin, so two varieties of camo on the ramps!
    Installation
unzip, open the C-141B(v2k) folder, drop contents into desired mod folder
allow overwrites if needed, weapons may be the only thing needed
    Included
C-141B Starlifter model
MAC skins for 1981, 1986, 1987, and 1989
AMC skins ranging from 1993 through 2006 as well as a special Last Starlifter skin depicting 66-0177, known as the Hanoi Taxi and the last Starlifter to be retired
Cargo, Jeep, and Paratrooper weapons for the bay
    Known Issues
- the main cargo doors and paratrooper doors open at the same time. an expert was consulted, and it is not reasonably feasable to seperate the actions.
- cockpit is an older one, this aircraft is intended more for eyecandy as there are no real transport missions in SF2. anyone who can donate a more modern pit would be greatly appreciated
- While 63 C-141Bs underwent upgrades to C standard in the late 1990s, the upgrades were internal (glass cockpit, avionics, GPS reciever). as they are not really visible, there is only a B model for here in game. The serials however are accurate and part of the last 63 Starlifters in service after 2002 (when the last McChord based aircraft retired)
- due to slight mapping issues, there will not be a bare metal version of this C-141B. they dont show up really on the White top, green or gray skins, but would stand out on a bare metal. there were only about 7 that operated unpainted for 9 months during the Desert Shield/Desert Storm timeframe anyhow.
    Credits
Veltro2K:    main model, intial idea to revamp this plane
daddyairplanes:    skin and decal work, ini edits
Killerbee331:     paratrooper, M38 Jeep from weapons pack
- cargo and pallet are also included although i cannot recall who created those. if it was you or you remember who did it, please let us know so we can fix the credits

on behalf of the Coyote Aerospace team, thank you for downloading this mod. We hope you enjoy it

In October of 1949, four pilots of the 36th Fighter Wing came together to form the first aerobatic display team in the American zone in Germany. This team and its successors would go on to fly hundreds of demonstrations in front of millions in Europe and Africa, before being disbanded in 1963.
That team was, .... the Skyblazers.
This year, Nine Teen Eighty Six, the Skyblazers have finally come home.This reunion, flown in the most advanced fighter aircraft of our time, the McDonnel Douglas F-15C Eagle, brings the Skyblazers out of retirement and back to the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing in Bitburg West Germany.

(Marcfighters) KC-10A Extender in the 90s
This is a redux of the Marcfighters KC-10 mod. It incorporates each wing that used the KC-10A in the early to mid 1990s. This includes the units that still operated the Extender at the transition from SAC to AMC, as well as the transition to Travis and McGuire AFBs. Also included are the two skins for the KDC-10 tanker version used by the Royal Netherlands Air Force
Installation:     Unlike many of my mods, i reccommend just deleting the previous mod if you have it on hand. This is a vast leap over the older skin set, and coversall available tankers rather than just 6 for each camo style. Allowing overwrite should not hurt anything, just dont complain about clutter if you go that path.
                          Otherwise, like always, unzip and install into any SF2 mod folder.

Included:    
    5 skins for the 458th ARG, 22d ARW, 4th Wing, and the 60th and 305th AMWs in 1995
    multi camo decal sets for these skins
    nose art as appropriate
    tweeked skins for the KDC-10 aircraft
    original decals for these aircraft
Known Issues
    the model and flight model are the same that Marcfighters included in the original (SF1) ODS mod. it was meant as eyecandy, and had no pit. as released i have commented out the cockpit, but had a sitting on the nose pit so i could load it in game
     to check work. there are also no windows for the cockpit, the entire fuselage is one piece (cause marking limitations)
    it is sluggish, and flies nose down.
    given there is a newer model known to be in the pipeline (eta two weeks), i am putting the lipstick on this pig but not working too much ini improvement. over 3/4 of the work on this should transfer easy to the new model when it comes.comments on how she flies will be referred to this warning.

SAC Twilight : KC-10A Extender(Marcfighters)
This is a redux of the Marcfighters KC-10 mod. It incorporates each wing that used the KC-10A in the last few years of SAC service also included is a El Dorado Canyon skin. While we do not currently have this operation in the game, I was able to find pics of ten Extenders in the UK in the middle of April, 1986. Ten KC-10As were used in the operation. you do the math.
Installation:     Unlike many of my mods, i reccommend just deleting the previous mod if you have it on hand. This is a vast leap over the older skin set, and covers all available tankers rather than just 6 for each camo style. Allowing overwrite should not hurt anything, just dont complain about clutter if you go that path.

Included:    
    4 skins for the 2d BMW, 22d ARW, 68th ARW, and Operation El Dorado Canyon with historical serial numbers
    multi camo decal sets for these skins
    nose art as appropriate
