  1. Beach! Yer flyin' right over my head! Literally!

  2. Top Gun question

    531Ghost replied to Viggen's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Well, the last time I was at Top Gun was in 1981 with F4Ns.
  3. BIG shout out to daddyairplanes for the PROPER 531 N model tail.
  4. Hello all you happy skin magicians! When I saw on the Thirdwire available downloads a set of US Navy/Marine Corps F4Ns, I had to have it. Purchased it, Went to fly it. Selected my old aircraft to fly, and was surprised to find that the tail art was that of the B model. Now, in Strike Fighters Project 1, the tail art for VMFA 531 (B model) is correct, for the N model, not the B. Is there any way to get the proper tail art onto the VMFA 531 N model Phantom? Thanks for any help. S/F
  5. daddyairplanes/wrench.................. I love you man. No homo. Finally was able to sit down long enough to put this skin in and fly. It is a thing of beauty, as it should've been to begin with. I'll take some screen shots and post 'em. Thanks again.
  6. Okay. Thanks guys! REALLY appreciate the efforts you've put into this! This file, F-4N.7z, goes where? Or is this part of the Expansion Pack (that I don't have)? Edit: Belay my last. Thanks Dave!
  7. Yes, 323 was also gloss. Again, thanks! The black on the radome/glareshield was however, flat black.
  8. That sir, is beautiful. I will gladly check out the rest of your N model skins! Our aircraft during 78-82 were gloss white on the bottem and grey on top. For the West Pac 79-80 we had yellow air conditioning intakes, The forward tips of the pylons as well the center line fuel tank forward tip about 12" was also yellow. During Operation Eagle Claw the right wing tip was painted black/yellow/black. the black was about 12" wide. For that deployment, we (531) had 200 series MODEX numbers. 323 was 100 series. EDIT: Found pictures to show Eagle Claw stripes. <--CLICK
  9. Thanks daddyairplanes! I was on that Carrier Deployment ;) Actually it was West Pac 79-80. During that deployment we were also involved with Operation Eagle Claw. eburger68, thanks! Dave, thanks! Really appreciate the efforts guys! My aircraft BUNO: 150419 MODEX 13
  10. Like this? Or any of these? I suppose using what was/is in the SFP1 VMFA 531 skins is not an option?
  11. Yep. It died a slow painful death.
  12. That's just it, NOBODY in 531 (me included) remembers him in 531 as an officer. I know people that were in the squadron from 1965 until the squadron disbanded. I was in VMFA 531 from 1978-1982. Then I went to H&MS 11 Power Plants/Test Cell. For Combat Pilot, he wasn't KI then he was with MadCatz. Look up his bio and check out his Linkedin page. Do the math and research. Download Combat Pilot (free now) and you'll experience the bugs for yourself. Same Bugs...
  13. Combat Pilot was supposed to be an add on to FSX. It was supposed to be a pay per month MP server to fly training missions and eventually graduate into being a "Fighter Pilot" Check this REVIEW. I've FINALLY found someone that remembers his name and MAYBE his face, Afterall, it's been 33 years since. But, he remembers him being a Cpl MAYBE a Sgt. NOT an officer. More to follow on that... As for Fightertown, it was there 'til the lease ran out and they (Kinney) packed it in.
  14. Combat Pilot another of Kinney "creations", abandonware. Full of bugs and holes and left to die. Fightertown, failure. When the lease was up, packed it up, done. What you see HERE, isn't. The museum has been made aware ;)

  16. Is it fixed then?

    531Ghost replied to MigBuster's topic in The Pub

    Any Marine worth his salt knows of Tun Tavern! Sadly though it's nothing more than a historical marker now...

  17. Is it fixed then?

    531Ghost replied to MigBuster's topic in The Pub

    No, rest assured, I can and indeed do read. US Marines, "born" in a bar? Sure why not. We still manage to kick ass and take names wherever we go.

    Heck, I didn't know Air Force guys knew how to spell "apostrophe". ;)

    Great job Erik getting all the rivets in place! Thanks! Heh, just noticed my post count. I'm pretty sure I've got more than (now 5) but, who count's that stuff anyway...

  20. Remembering The Fallen

    531Ghost replied to Erik's topic in The Pub

    Captain Aaron Blanchard. He started life in the Marines as a T700 Engine Mech. Got his degree and went to fly AH64s in the Army.

    No worries Erik. I'm okay with either. Technically, I'm an O3 equivalent now any way. ;) But that looks GREAT too! Thanks!
