  1. I'm using the SA-2LF system 1966-1970.  The SAM is pushing the Thuds (F-105D) down low as they did.  Coming in at 10 000ft won't work.  I have the QRC-101s on and transmitting and it doesn't work.  Long shot SAM out around 20 NMs are routinely knocking down planes.  The dive and go to ground works but you are down in the weeds to get that Fansong to break lock, then all the rest of the AAA join in. 

     

    I had to dig out the old SAM trails so I could see something coming and try to evade it.  Without it, no idea as you can't visually padlock the SAM coming but at least with that, you can see a trail.


  2. The RCAF roundel on the nose is supposed to be a sugar maple leaf like you have on your wings.  The one you have there on the RCAF schemes is the modern one for post .

     

    The flag on the tail of the RCAF scheme is the flag of Ontario, a Canadian province, not the Canadian flag or the "Red Ensign" as we called it then.  Also the Union Jack on the Red Ensign is flown facing forward.

    That covers it.


  3. A couple of points on the plane Paulo.
