File Name: USAF Air Training Command T-28B File Submitter: ChampionsVA56 File Submitted: 17 Feb 2010 File Category: Multi Engined Bomber, Transport, Light Attack and Trainer Skins For the Skunkworks T-28B file located in their THIRD PARTY section.

File Name: The "Soc Trang Angels" 1963 File Submitter: ChampionsVA56 File Submitted: 17 Feb 2010 File Category: Multi Engined Bomber, Transport, Light Attack and Trainer Skins I saved my favorite for LAST!! Here is the final skin for your Skunkworks T-28D COIN which can be found in their Third Party section. This completes the T-28D series. "Jungle Jim" was a code name of the original 4400th CCTS and Air Commandos. Members wore an Austrailian-type green fatigue slouch hat in the style Johnny Weissmuller wore in the Jungle Jim films of that era. The Air Commandos deployed to Laos and South Vietnam in Oct. 1961 as part of "Operation Farm Gate" during the opening of the war in Vietnam. The unit moved to Soc Trang airbase in South Vietnam and was redisignated the 1st Air Commando wing in June 1963. The Unofficial name of the unit became the "Soc Trang Angels".

File Name: The T-28D and Cambodia...Friend or Foe? File Submitter: ChampionsVA56 File Submitted: 17 Feb 2010 File Category: Multi Engined Bomber, Transport, Light Attack and Trainer Skins Although the USA started delivering T-28Ds to Cambodia already in August 1962, the type did not see any prominent service before the early 1970s. In fact, by 1969 most Trojans of the AVRK(Aviation Royale Khmere) were non-operational due to the lack of spares.The Royal Cambodian government had become increasingly hostile to its South Vietnamese neighbors and therefore lost favor with the U.S. government who proptly embargoed service and spare parts for the T-28's. After Gen. Noi came to power in a 1970 coup, the Cambodian air force was re-named the Aviation Nationale Khmere (AVNK). An attempt was made to restore relations with the American Government and provide limited armed patrols of the Ho Chi Mihn Trail through Cambodia. All T-28D's were brought to operational condition by USAF technicians, and were given new markings which had a striking resembelence to the USAF roundel. AVNK T-28Ds proved highly effective in combat but their operations were hampered by many elements, starting with restrictive orders from the Cambodian regime, right to the U.S. limitations about the amount of ammunition they could spend per single day! These are for your Skunkworks T-28D COIN which can be found in their Third Party Section. Click here to download this file

File Name: The T-28D and the "Secret" war in Laos 1964 File Submitter: ChampionsVA56 File Submitted: 17 Feb 2010 File Category: Multi Engined Bomber, Transport, Light Attack and Trainer Skins Another set of skins for the Skunkworks T-28D which can be found in their Third Party section. Many of T-28s supplied to the Royal Laotian Air Force (RLAF) were equipped with side-panels, which enabled the ground crew to quickly change the national insignia - in correspondence with the nationality of the pilot that was to fly the next mission! The insignia was usually applied on cardboard, and would be slid into the panels: Lao insignia would be installed when the pilot belonged to RLAF, while USAF insignia would be substituted if some USAF 'adviser' flew the plane - officially on 'liaison' or 'weather reconnaissance' missions, of course. No insignia was worn if the aircraft was flown by Air America, or by the members of the A-Team, Thai mercenaries, Raven FACs, or B-Team. There are 3 skins for you in this package: RLAF 101st Composite Squadron, Luang Probang AB 1969 RLAF 202nd Composite Squadron, Wattay AB 1968 A secret SURPRISE from 1964 Click here to download this file
