In the '50 several south american countries entered in jet age with the Shooting Star
This huge skinpack portaits these airforces:
- Brazil  (33 delivered starting in 1958, withdrawn from service in 1973)
- Chile  (30 delivered from 1958 on, last ones retired from service in 1974)
- Colombia  (16 delivered starting in 1958, retired by 1966)
- Ecuador  (16 delivered between 1957 and 1960, six returned to the United States in 1965)
- Peru   (16 delivered starting in 1958, the type was phased out in 1973)
- Uruguay  (17 delivered, withdrawn from use in 1971)
Why this little, quite heavy (see the FACh camo skin ...) effort?
Because this is a fantastic, maybe underated, model made by great 3D master Erikgen and these exotic skins are pretty. (Aren't they?)
<ENRICO CI MANCHI!>
WHAT'S IN:
- 13 new skins
- Historical Serial numbers
- Brazilian Playcards ...
CREDITS:
- Enrico Gennari aka "EriKgen" plane model

INSTALL:
- You must have Erikgen F-80C installed
- deliver all files inside "to mod folder" folder to your own mod folder (isn't it easy?)
Carpe diem .... and fly higher and higher, please.

The Yakovlev Yak-15, NATO reporting name: Feather, was a first-generation
Soviet turbojet fighter developed by the Yakovlev design bureau (OKB) im-
mediately after World War II.
It used a reverse-engineered German Junkers Jumo 004 engine.
Along with the Swedish Saab 21R, it was one of only two jets to be success-
fully converted from a piston-powered aircraft and enter production.
280 aircraft were built in 1947.
Although nominally a fighter, it was mainly used to qualify piston-engine-
experienced pilots to fly jets.
