They were at Bagotville Air Show a month ago along with Snowbirds and they did a flyover over Ottawa on Canada day. Tragedy at Air Shows in the past are making safer one's today...

Encountered this strange bug about one year ago with the engine sound (think it was one of the F-18E). I installed the bird in a mod and the engine sound file got corrupted somewhere... I download back the plane and it was ok (i put back the first version of every file and when i put the engine one i got a stealthy hornet)... I scratched my head to find it back then :)

I dig down the drone designation within the RCAF and the next available number as for today is the CU-177. So i decided to give it the CU-177 designation. I also decided to give the the serials number 177001 to 177011 to match the RCAF serail designations. You will get the CU-177 skin in this package Installation: Copy the current pack objects/aircraft folder in your game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER aircraft folder.

CC-330 Husky (serial 330002) on final

Condolences to the family, close friends and evyone who had the chance to know him!

Took a while, but CFB Bagotville and Cold Lake will get their Lightning II. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-finalizes-19-billion-purchase-of-f-35-fighter-jets/

I saw schemes of F-18E, F-18F and F-14 of Top Gun Maverick, but not the bandit one... Well this one will be out soon :)

The US have kept secret the development of special weapons that were made for the newly Space Force. In the year 2023, the United Space Space Force received their 12 first fighter pod for their Earth Base (tail code EB). In the year 2026, the squadron to be based on the moon (tail code MB) will received their 12 fighter pods. Picture of the Space Force fighter pod 007 after takeoff from Earth base.

Well, look where i got with a Huey :) Went higher but can't remember how high it was before i exploded

That simplifies a lot. Note that the ''side'' roundels have changed in 2017-2018 period. See this image as exemple As for the squadrons, you must have the 410 as this is the Tactical Fighter Operational Training Squadron. Would be a good thing to have the 401 or 409 (Cold Lake) as the West component, but i would surely put the 425 or 433 (Bagotville) for the East component. And i would not go with more than 24 birds (2 sqn of 12 unit) if it's to fill a gap (we don't have that much money) :) For the Sqn decals, a lot have already been done on the CF-18 i made the decals for on the ODS30th anniversary project. Might have to take a look :) As for the name, as there is already the CT-155 Hawk in RCAF inventory and going with the RCAF plane number designations, i would doubt they would name the F-15 CF-155. So I would go with CF-115 instead. All serials number will have 6 numbers beginning by 115 (115001, 115002, and so on). You can send me what you will have done and test it with pleasure and give you my comments :)

Canadian F-15 version... a what-if that was almost reality when the US wanted us to buy the F-14 that were sold to Iran but not been delivered when the agreement collapsed due to regime change :) Plan to do what exactly (sqdn, time period, etc.)

These CF-5A's (CF-116) always looked good. My two cents : Your side decals are wrong :) ''CANADIAN ARMED FORCES'' on left side and ''FORCES ARMÉES CANADIENNES'' on right side. and Canadian flag is too big on the tail. But great looking!

Went on to do a campaign with the O-1E Bird Dod in Korea. Have been assigned to a rare Armed Recon mission and i laugth when i saw what was my target :)

Have you seen these sites : https://www.airport-data.com/manuf/Fairchild_Republic.html https://www.spottingmode.com/opad/fleet/united_states/air_force/fairchild_a-10_thunderbolt_ii/

Hi Stratos, Maybe these should help :) These are the templates for Tchad scheme i made for ODS 30th anniversary :)

Canada did not fly US fighter jets only, they flew the CF-100 (fighter jet but referred as an interceptor), but hey we made it to the production line and it served with RCAF and Belgium :) Does the F-35 is the right choice? I can't tell but the JAS-39 Gripen E could have been a good choice too as it would have been assembled in Canada. Not to mention way more less expensive to buy and maintain. But we love to buy American stuff :) Now I can't wait seeing them land at the airport the CF-18's (and various other) where i live land as a remote strip :)
