SEPECAT Jaguar SG, Marinefliegergeschwader 2, 1978

Can do. Shouldn't take much time. I already modified the inner pylons enabling them to launch Kormorans.

The german Luftwaffe was seeking a smaller alternative to the bigger and heavier Tornadoes and Phantoms, especially for CAS-Missions; but it also should have some A2A-Capabilities. The Alpha Jet was taken into consideration, but deemed not suitable for the task imposed. The Mirage F1 was also taken into consideration initially, but rapidly dropped because of the Luftwaffe's "Single-Engine-Doctrine" after the Starfighter-Desaster. In 1976, after having signed an accord between the british, the french and the german government, german pilots had the opportunity to evaluate the aircraft. Two airplanes, a single- and a double-seater, were especially commissioned at 17 Squadron, RAF Brüggen. The results were satisfying and the german government signed an order of 36 single- and 8 double-seater planes, taking the GR.1 as a base. First deliveries started in 1978, being the JBG31 the last one to get it's aircraft in 1979.

View File [Fictional] SAAB J-40 Vålnad for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Fictional mod of Dels' superb YF-23A to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the swedish air force. BACKGROUND The end of the "Advanced Tactical Fighter" program also marked the end to the YF-23 of the consortium composed of Northrop, Grumman and MDD. With the election of the YF-22, the YF-23 became obsolete and the existing frames got mothballed. The swedish minister of Defence, Anders Björck, who recognized the potential of the plane, followed the ATF program in the way it was possible to him. He, after gaining knowledge about the fate of the Black Widows, placed a demand inside the swedish parliament, to get into touch with the Pentagon in order to explore the possibilities of acquisition. With the decease of the Soviet Union nevertheless, the swedish parliament wasn't interested in such expensive and politically explosive purchases. It was eight years later, after the release of the Visby-Corvettes, which are considered to have stealth properties, when Björn von Sydow (then minister of defence in Sweden) brought the idea of having stealth fighters back into speech. He also remembered the petition being made by former MoD Björck years ago. Rising tensions with Russia, violating the swedish airspace now and then, let the politicians rethink their position towards the construction or acquisition of stealth planes. Since the US would never export the Raptor, efforts were made to obtain the Black Widow. A formal petition note from the swedish government was handed to the US government. Severe concerns about the transition of technology were pronounced and a team of experts and engineers from the Skunkworks was consulted. Though not being a potential enemy and always having been neutral, this kind of technology and the posibility of getting the wrong hands onto it, made the crucial organs in the US administration doubt about if it would be the right decision to sell these aircraft to Sweden. More than ten months passed since the request of the purchasing of the aircraft. After that space of time, Stockholm received green light for the purchasing of the aircraft, but under limitations. It was only allowed to get the airframes. These got stripped of all technology, both stealth and other military equipment. They also were allowed to get the frames in a primed state, without any traces of paint which aided in absorbing radar waves. Final condition was the ban on export of the aircraft resulting from the swedish efforts in getting an stealthy aircraft themselves. SAAB and a team of scientists inmediately got into work to adapt the existing airframes to the necessities as stated by the government. In 2007, when SAAB presented the first airframe, returned to an airworthy state, scepticism arose among the government. But when the aircraft took off and the military demonstrated the potential of this aircraft, scepticism was nowhere to be seen. Existing orders for the Gripen were reduced in favor of the J-40 Vålnad (Ghost). INSTRUCTIONS 1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

The société nationale belge de aéronautique (SNBA) was founded after the end of WWI. It's main focus was the improvement of the existing technologies in aeronautics and the development of new aircraft for both military and civilian use. The first steps were made after inspecting the german aircraft (remainders of the first aerial war in human history), left behind by the German Empire after its unconditional surrender. From the knowledge gathered and by experimenting with new constructed airframes, the company was able to launch their first commercial airplane, the SNBA Wallonie, in 1922. Due to comparatively small tanks and very inefficient engines, the aircraft could only fly short routes, making it pretty unattractive for purchase. Also their second model, the Pégase, which was presented in 1927 and was a sleak and far more efficient model, was not up to par with the other aircraft of its time. Development of new models stagnated and SNBA felt compelled to the production of spare parts for already existing planes in belgian use. It became especially important during WW2, when the staff and the engineers left their homebase in Mons prior to the german invasion in 1940 and went to the UK to aid the British in the upgrading of the Hurricane and Spitfire, that became so effective against the Messerschmitts, Junkers and Heinkels during the Battle for Britain. After WW2, the engineers and the other surviving staff returned to Belgium where, in cooperation with former german engineers, Belgiums first jetfighter was developed, the CR1 Tonnerre (Thunder). Structural problems, that couldn't be fixed without causing other problems in the aircrafts behaviour and performance, doomed the aircraft to an early end and the design team back to the drawing tables. In 1951, the design for the CR2 Tourbillon (Whirlwind), sporting swept wings and a more powerful engine, got the good to go from the belgian government. The first flight was undertaken in Summer 1952, where problems with abnormal vibrations at the wingroots and it's tendency to spin in some situations almost led to the loss of the prototype. The improved and upgraded prototype absolved the checking flight without major problems in 1953. Thorough testing by pilots of the belgian air force led to some more minor improvements. In 1954, the production of the plane was initiated and the belgian air force received their first batch of CR2 (Chasseur à réaction 2 - 2nd jetfighter) Tourbillon in late spring of 1955.

Thank you very much for your help, Erik. Now it works.
