last one for the weekend.......

AMC time

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here!

In russia, pushing plane part cost of flight!

person on the alarm must have just as as sleepy as back then. course i had the fun of going to the Brit dfac same time as one landed a block from my company. the alarm didn't go off until 45 minutes after impact, while me and my joes were still in the brits ao. ask them whats up and they say "f ck if i know mate" and keeps walking. had to deal with a highly pissed 1SG when we got back to our mods. in our defense we really didn't hear it go off...... point 1 that is why i had a roshan phone for most of 2009.. point 2 make any game that detailed and holy shite!!!!!

starting in the late 70s Lockheed and the USAF rebuilt 270 C-141A Starlifters to correct the issue of the aircraft bulking out on cargo before they reached max take off weight...............

if the Apache doesn't have a w/o radar version you should be able to remove it same as you would antennea will this mod come with the smoke breaks known as rocket attacks? and will there be 2009 version with that sexy voiced girl that announced rocket attacks? i mean we were talking sexy husky from the get go not desert queen 6 months in.......................................................

Well your first problem is win 8....... Win 7 and win 10 are ok be me though

All this commentary but not a Peep out of the DPRK.............

you'll need 3 Jimmy Stewart pilots, _WW2, B-47, and B-58...... was looking for an Air & Space article about the Hustler and Jimmy Stewart getting his Mach 2 pin. found the above instead. we now return you to your regularly schedule topic already in progress

my big folder of pics is at home, will send it to you tonight. as i have been able to tell, the white came out around 78-79. the Marines were generally the last to update schemes, but Navy worked to reduce visual signature. around 1980, a low viz grey scheme came out and then the TPS in 81-82, though only two squadrons flew the J in that. yes most pics are from the nam era. wait till you get this folder. broken down by unit, most labeled by year. gathered over the course of a years worth of google image hunting

1973 VF 11,31,32,33,74,41,84,101,102,103,21,92,96,114,142,143,154,213 USNGrey VMFA 212,232,235,3112,333,451 1975 VF 11,31,33,74,101,102,103,21,92,96,114,191,194,213 USNGrey VMFA 115,122,212,232,235,312,333,451 1977 VF 11,31,33,74,101,102,103,21,151,154,161,191,194 USNGrey VMFA same as above 1978 VF 11,31,33,74,102,103,21,151,154,161 overall gloss gull grey 1979 VF 11,31,33,74,102,103,21,151,154,161 overall gloss VMFA 115,122,212,235,312 gull gray 1980 VF11,31,33,74,102,103 VF 11,31 and 103 were overall gull, the others in a toned down grey scheme with some color but not the TPS VMFA 115,122,212,235 all in overall gull gray 1981 VF31,33,74,102,103 VF 74 and 103 in TPS Phinal Atlantic Fleet Deployment VMFA same as above 1982 VMFA 115,122,312,115 carrier deployment USS Forrestal AA codes all in overall gull grey dont have info on pre 73 due to not being the period i'm usually interested in. i mod for the 70s and 80s when there was the greatest mix of the new and the old. if interested i can pm you my squadronlist ini and breakdown of USN/USMC units to make decalling a little easier. unless you have my F-4Npack then you already have the units in there nice work for today! you posted while i was typing up the above list

Gimme a day or so. Have notes but in a snb note file on my tablet. As you skin only two units that used TPS, and most were in the ovrrall gull gray scheme of the late 70s

Maybe maybe not. Definately not in that scheme initially, and one of the missions of Canada CF-5 force was strategic reserve for Norways NF-5 fleet. But stans to reason if fighter command took a beating the agressor force could have been sent to replenish. That or more F-4Js from the boneyard....

what you didn't go with the most obvious unit for this?

nice. however if your aim is post 1974, you need the DECM antenea on the intakes. found more commonly in photos on the S, that probably is because most J photos that get attn are Vietnam era shots. but the J continued to fly with the Navy until around 82(VF74 and -103 phinal users) and Marines for two years past that (IIRC VMFA-115, did a Forrestal dep in 83 while another squadron was converting to Toms) might also want to talk to Sundowner, i know he has one and i was working a skin pack (Similar to my F-4N pack) for it but thats not even on a burner right this second

so there i was, mindin my own and checking progress on some skins and the @$$holes go and show up...........

ok cool as i have 5 other projects for years end, plus waiting on Dels new Herc. lemme know if you want me to tag back in

ok google and airliner.net photo searches indicate this wont be too bad a beast to mark up other than a couple hundred serials. wing squadron and flight commanders appear to be indicated by stripes like they did back then, so those tie to the serials. black around cockpit should be on skin and just the SAC and unit sashes on the nose. now a few questions @anyone: most of what i see indicates wing markings rather than squadron marking like whats going on with the Lockheed heavy haulers. shall assume to add those to the squadronlist. ini as such? @Dave could use anything reference you got on digits. will use joe baughers site for serials but need to know who flew waht and white anti flash or no and when @Veltro: would you consider at least one RB version? despite the fun of nuking things, for the realism nuts THAT would be cool as they were the ones that actually saw combat IRL

soo i was running quick test flight before bed to get screenies of what to fix tomm. got a glimpse of why i took up the method of doing heavies that i took up now we just need a proper airport to park these colorful birds at......

Fubar, if you annoy the neighbors enough, the police will always sieze your shit back to Dave and on topic, so ya gonna mod the whole airframe or fakepilot different models up?

did you just say you were bored?!?! wow reference first rule of marriage, enlistment, and rule 33 of fight club.............

if they sell it to a country that really does turn it into a casino and bar, they could rename it Yeltsin...............

hey i thought it was supposed to be bitchin betty not bitchin eric. damn new military..................................

big part of why i dont volunteer right now for skins. all nat metal, the Starlifter turned out the best. of course the DC-10 has been a devil skin since i started working with it as a KC-10, but the 767 is a one tile skin too and it didnt turn out bad. just not shiny. but you've seen what i can do with tga everything but the white on the skin my friends so stickers is my strong point back on topic, willing to decal this puppy up at the least. if some interested party has a good reference on units it would help but i am handy enough with a search engine if need be.
