File Name: 8th Fighter Squadron File Submitter: whiteknight06604 File Submitted: 20 May 2007 File Category: SF F-86/FJ-2/3 Fury Skins The Dhimari 8th fighter squadron was raised when Hostilities seemed unavoidable with Paran.Dhimar purchased ex South Korean Sabers to form the unit.It was used in the opening of the conflict to provide air defense around the capital and the surrounding industrial area.After the initial offensive was stopped operations shifted to ground support.The 8th continued to fly the Saber until it was finally replaced by ex-USMC F-4s that were obtained in the mid-80's.It is hoped that a deal with the US will allow the 8th to fly ex-ANG F-16s in the near future. The Dhimar "leopard Camo" was only used by 2 squadrons.The 10th and 8th.Both were units hastily raised during the war and were originally finished in bare metal when they were received from South Korea.the Depot that did the initial overhaul had limited stocks of the Standard desert paints and had to make due with what it had.The leopard pattern as it was known was designed by LT. M. Hushan and was made using paint originally meant for tanks.as a result by wars end the paint was in sad shape but due to the popularity of the scheme it was redone post war in "real" aviation paints.

I think I'll try and upload these 2 skins today.wish me luck on my dial up.lol

I think my next projects will be to update the Sabres and make a Dhimari C-130 and Parani An-12 skin.It always makes me smile when i see one of my skins in a screenshot,even if it was one of my older attempts.

great stuff and an awesome suprise.I have wanted one for the longest time and was very happy to see this.Thank you.

Great work.A big thanks to both of you.

It's still better than what I could do.

it's a bank of 18 Ronco rotissiery ovens.it's a little known fact that spit rosted fouls make excellent target markers.

the line "My friend's aunt flies the bone" just sounds so wrong.

Looks like an awesome start.Please keep up the good work.Thank you.

Great stuff guys,Thank you.

when i was young(10-20) the only real choice for sims was paper or miniature.I spent hours playing Avalon Hill's FLIGHT LEADER or TSR's DAWN PATROL.never really got into computer sims untill a few years8 or so) ago.now I'm 37 and play every chance I can,work and Football practice eat into playing time and something called the family intrude from time to time also.;)

I'm so glad to see you back Bort,and thank you for allowing us to enjoy your hard work again.On a side note you have a PM.

I'm not trying to start anything and i'll honor his wishes but if you don't use any of his original work would you need permision to make a skin?I see companies make after market unlicensed parts and addons for automobiles al the time and no one gets sued.I'm just curious how that would work here?

Yes it is great news.I'm glad Bort didn't let my ill thought out words ruin everything for everyone else.

here here

Ok here goes.Maybe I was a little harsh with the terminology I used but I'm not to far from the mark here.Bort has a history of being OVERLY thin skined.I pointed it out.Maybe I shouldn't have in an open forum,thats my own issue and If somone has a way to reach bort I'll be perfectly happy to say that I was out of line in my use of words and the venue i used to say them but the underlying messege is still valid.He makes his models for himself(as I do with my skins)but if somone brings up an error or gives me a hint how I can inprove things I don't pull my stuff and trash them on my site.He did recieve some bashing but no more and prob less than I have seen others get.Indio your right in some ways and I was overly heated when I posted,about many things, some not First eagle related.As for the A-team I have never had a beef with them and if i did I would bring it up.Maybe with little more tact this time around but I'll always speak my mind.I have no hard feeling towards anyone here wether involed in this situation or not.

"but atleast they make the effort." And for that i am very greatful.

I agre with you Dagger and also appologize for my semi-rants.I would never argue anyones right to do anything they wanted with their site or models.If combatace decided to close up shop tomorrow I would be very sad but I wouldn't flame you guys.The issue I had was his rantings and acusations that were in general false. from his site, "there you go as i said this site closed by democratic community request...why is the community whining about the fact that i have actually done as requested??..or did the community not expect that to happen??...and if not what is this community you speak of and what exactly does it expect??...the community gets what the community wants..isn't that what it's all about?? you can thank me later... " as far as I remember no one ever wanted him to stop his work or close up shop.that was his decision and his alone.He just seems to blam everyone else for all his problems and I got sick of it.I was a supporter of his untill the rants and such started on his blog.I accepted his work for what it was and never said anything but good about it.I just had an issue with the way he handled the community rather than the communities treatment of him.I'm sorry dagger for going off and i'll drop it as of now. On a side note Dagger your a truck driver by trade?Are you Indipendent or do you drive for a line?My father drove for Global/Allied for 30+ years.

I'm glad no one was killed.I also hope that traffic isn't an issue for you in the near future,that sounds like it's gonna be a mess for a while.
