In late 1977, the Philippine government purchased 35 secondhand U.S. Navy F-8Hs that were stored at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona.
Twenty-five of them were refurbished by Vought and the remaining 10 were used for spare parts. As part of the deal, the U.S. would
train Philippine pilots in using the TF-8A. They were mostly used for intercepting Soviet bombers. The F-8s were grounded in 1988
and were finally withdrawn from service in 1991 after they were badly damaged by the Mount Pinatubo eruption, and have since been
offered for sale as scrap.
 
Here a new skin with its historical decalset for our F-8 collection.

Thailand purchased 14 A-7E's and 4 TA-7C's for coastal defense and sea patrol duties.
Aircraft were delivered during the summer of 1995 and were in service with the 104th "White Shark" squadron,
1st Wing at U-Tapao International Airport. These aircraft are currently not operational as of July 20, 2007.
However, the Royal Thai Navy continues to maintain the operability of the aircraft with the necessary maintenance
and by starting them up and taxiing them on the airport's tarmac

PS: this is for Acesfakia !

The Strikemaster is essentially an armed version of the Jet Provost T Mk 5. Various improvements and alterations were made to the aircraft, including an uprated Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbojet engine, wing hardpoints capable of carrying a wide variety of munitions, a pair of machine guns under the intakes, uprated flap system with two jacks, enlarged airbrake jacks, new communication and navigation gear, different electrical system, canopy breakers on the ejection seats, and a revised fuel system including tip tanks on the wing tips.
First flown in 1967, the aircraft was typically marketed as a light attack or counter-insurgency aircraft, however, the majority of customers were air forces seeking an advanced trainer. The Strikemaster did see combat on multiple occasions in the service of Ecuador, Oman and Yemen. A total of 146 aircraft were produced prior to the end of production in 1983. The type remaining flying into the 2020s, albeit with increasing difficulty due to a decreasing supply of spare parts over time.
WHAT'S IN:
- Strikemaster Mk80    Saudi Arabia     (47 planes)        3 skins
- Strikemaster Mk81    South Yemen    (  4 planes)        1 skin
- Strikemaster Mk82    Oman                 (25 planes)        2 skins
- Strikemaster Mk83    Kuwait                (12 planes)        1 skin
- Strikemaster Mk88    New Zealand     (16 planes)        2 skins
CREDITS:

- pappychksix: all skins
- paulopanz: decals, hangars, screens, drop tanks paint, skins little editings, ini dance, packaging etc etc.
TO INSTALL:
- put all in your main mod folder and overwrite

NOTE:
TW simulations allow us to add proper historical serials, numbers, letters and nose arts to each plane.
Best models with serials, numbers and letters painted on textures for me are a real waste. All planes (as black cats at night ...) are the same ...

So our friend Pete allowed me to make decals (I have a real decals factory yet ...) for his great skins and this is the final product.
I think that outstanding Russo's plane really needed this work to shine.
I hope you like this pack, as I liked to buid this up.
If Pete will skin Mk84, Mk89 and Mk90 (with his own super templates) too I'll be glad to add them.
If someone'll tweak a better flight model I'll add too.
Any improve'll be welcome.
Aren't we a community?
Enjoy!

Ejército del Aire F-104G - ALA-12

The Spanish Air Force received their F-104s under the Military Assistance Program: 18 Canadair-built F-104Gs
and three Lockheed-built TF-104Gs were delivered under MAP to Spain's Ejército del Aire in 1965.
These aircraft were transferred to Greece and Turkey when they were replaced by F-4 Phantoms in 1972.
It is notable that no aircraft were lost through accidents during 17,000 hours of operational use in Spain
although it should also be noted that the aircraft was used only in its intended role of an interceptor and
mainly in very good flying weather.
 
Ejército del Aire:
 
-Ala 6 based at Torrejon (later redesignated Ala 16); 61 Escuadron (later redesignated 161 and 104 Escuadron)
 
Install: as usual

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.

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
