Nice! Looking foward to it

Haha that would be an 'interesting' phone call. It was also used on the Aussie F-111

Suggestion for the Viper Team for the IAF F-16 Pack: http://www.iai.co.il/17652-26545-en/Business_Areas_Military_Defence_Self_Protection.aspx?btl=1 I think it would be a nice addition to the pack if you guys have the time and are interested. Cheers, Dan.

Early xmass!!!

Cool!

With China about to extend its military power into the pacific region, with its soon to be operational aircraft carrier, the New Zealand government decided it was time to re-activate its air combat wing in order to provide some degree of security and deterrence. Before a Fighter Competition could be announced the US State Department, keen to keep China in check in the region, offered to subsidize a New Zealand order of the latest Block (52+) F-16C/D Fighting Falcons. The deal was to good to be passed up so a package of 25 F-16D Block 52+ aircraft plus weapons and spares were ordered. The two seat D model was chosen as it is hoped a duel crew will help overcome some the lack of experience the newly trained/ converted crews would have in the air combat role. Since New Zealand has been without an air combat wing or aircraft since 2001 a large training and skills gap exists in the RNZAF. To help solve this problem fast jet training of new aircrew and operational conversion of existing RNZAF pilots will be done in the United States by the USAF. To do this the USAF 61st Fighter Squadron at Luke AFB has been re-activated and will be responsible for training RNZAF air and ground crews. The Squadron will operate some of the newly built RNZAF F-16D Block 52+ aircraft, which will retain RNZAF markings, as well as some USAF owned aircraft which will carry US markings. Aircraft assigned to the 61st Fighter Squadron of both nationalities will carry 61st Fighter Squadron markings. (Which is how it works with Singaporean vipers in the 425th FS) No.75 Squadron RNZAF Base Ohakea, New Zealand. 61st Fighter Squadron (Air Education and Training Command) Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, United States of America.

Funny you should ask lol. I will send it to you.

Nice work! To cover the latter years for the RAAF Hornet the following upgrades (HUG xx) were done on them: 2003, HUG 2.1: AN/APG-73 installed, IFF upgraded so the 'Bird Slicer' type antenna is now on the nose of the aircraft, AIM-120C now used. 2004, ASRAAM now used. 2007, Lighting Pod now used, AIM-120C7 now used. 2010, HUG 2.2: JHMCS now used.

That’s what I thought but this article makes reference to a future upgrade to give the IAF F-15 Baz fleet Python 5 capability: http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/israel-kicks-off-program-to-improve-its-f16s-and-f15s-01796/ "Announced improvement of the F-15 A-D Eagles will include a “replacement of electronic war systems” and an “improvement in the ability to carry advanced bombs” via integration of new weapons. Presumably, Python 5 and Derby 4 air-air missile integration will be part of the process, if that isn’t already present from past modernizations." So I started searching the net and couldn't find any hard data or a photo with an IAF F-15 carrying a Python 5 operationally.

Does anyone know what Israeli Aircraft are carrying the Python 5 operationally? As far as I can tell it seems to be just the F-16I Sufa? Cheers, Dan.

Sorry guys but the updated version (IAF IAI Super Phantom1.1.7z) didn't save for some reason last night so I have re uploaded it just now. Version 1.1 re-uploaded: - Brand new SF2 'Super_F4.LOD' with fuselarge aerial and afterburner nodes that glow correctly when the afterburners are on.

A bit morbid I know, but from a tactical point of view what type of aircraft and ordnance do you think the IDF/ IAF use when targeting vehicles such as the one the chief of Hamas' military wing was killed in? http://edition.cnn.c...html?hpt=imi_c1

Version 1.1 uploaded: - Brand new SF2 'Super_F4.LOD' with fuselarge aerial and afterburner nodes that glow correctly when the afterburners are on.

Negative stability and fly-by-wire in action? "the F-16's quadruple-redundant fly-by-wire computer automatically makes constant split-second corrections [to the flight contol surfaces] to keep the plane stable." http://en.wikipedia....and_fly-by-wire It's probably not but it fits lol
