F-5E - The F-5 was also adopted as an opposing forces (OPFOR) "aggressor" for dissimilar training role because of its small size and performance similarities to the Soviet MiG-21. The F-5E served with the US Air Force from 1975 until 1990, in the 64th Aggressor Squadron and 65th Aggressor Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, and with the 527th Aggressor Squadron at RAF Alconbury in the UK and the 26th Aggressor Squadron at Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines. F-5N - Ex-Swiss Air Force F-5Es used by the US Navy as an "aggressor" aircraft, with AN/APG-69 replacing the original AN/APQ-159. Intended to replace high-time USN/USMC F-5Es in the adversary role, and saw service through 2015.

This is a complete overhaul/update/fixing of great Dave original package, an handmade reskin using Lod viewer and no templates. The job was started several years ago and finished after downloaded last Kevin's effort. So you'll find, jpg textures, SM files, fixed camo, lines and right shaped stripes and some missing parts added to originals. As I always dislike redoing someone's else work pratice without a valid reason, this job started only for personal use, but when became a complete overhaul, I decided to share. As a bonus a Defence Systems Evaluation skin made by myself using TW silver skin as template (EB-57B) and a second AVON 1 skin for 13 BS. Decals are taken from Dave's package and some are brand new. Remember to delete ALL previous old skins from original pack if installed. I hope you like. Happy new year. @paulopanz 2024

Built as a successor to the PBM Mariner, it had better engines, an improved hull, and a single vertical fin tail. The P5M-1 was followed by 116 P5M-2 planes. These had a T-tail to put the tail surfaces out of the spray, an AN/ASQ-8 MAD boom at the rear of the tail-tip, no tail guns (the gun position replaced by he antenna for the AN/APN-122 Doppler Navigation Set), better crew accommodation, and an improved bow to reduce spray during takeoff and landing. WHAT'S IN: - 30 Skins (27 USN; 1 USCG; 2 MN) - decals / serial historical numbers by Squadron - loadout.tga image CREDITS: - A-TEAM original model - pappychksix original skins - paulopanz edited & new skins; decals, loadout.tga. ini edits TO INSTALL: - (*) you need P5M-R0c.lod from original A-TEAM Beta package or if you use the P5M-R1.lod from modern planes section you have to change P5M.ini like this: [LOD001] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=100 [LOD002] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=250 [LOD003] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=500 [LOD004] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=2000 [LOD005] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=15000 - put it inside AIRCRAFT/P5M folder - put all the new package in your SF-2 folder NOTES: I made this pack because I love this plane and hate texture painted serial numbers. The model I used is a beta and has some easy to fix mapping bugs (I could show), that I tried to mask as better I can, because as many others - I fear - it'll not be ever fixed. The realise lod has the same problems (unfixed bugs) as the beta so you can use both. Enjoy @ paulopanz

The second generation of Canadair Sabre aircraft, and first to be built in quantity, was the Mk 2, with 350 produced from 1952–1953. The RCAF received 290 of these improved aircraft. During the first half of 1952, the remaining 60 Mk.2s were supplied to the U.S. Air Force for use in the Korean War. Most RCAF Mk.2 Sabres were utilized in the air defence role with NATO's No. 1 Air Division in Europe, proving itself to be an outstanding dogfighter. Others were assigned to the training role at bases in Canada. After replacement by the Sabre 5 in RCAF service from 1954, just over 210 surviving Sabre 2s were overhauled and modified in the UK and supplied in roughly equal numbers to the Greek Air Force and Turkish Air Forces. WHAT'S IN: - a new plane - 11 high rez skins - decals, sounds, weapons etc. CREDITS: - Zur model - Ravenclaw temps - paulopanz skins, decals, ini edits TO INSTALL: - all in main mod folder and overwrite NOTE: - maybe a better FM (this one is from old Sabre 4) should be needed Enjoy! @paulopanz PS: Canadair Sabre n°1 pack, to be continued soon.
