Air Combat and Ground Strafe over Isla Martin Garcia

Sorry, i made a mistake

In 1981 we get some Roland 1 trailers (not active today) and two years later the roland 2 arrived to the country and continue to be on service.

Also, the argentine navy has at least 1 triple tigercat launcher, but cant find info about it.

Pilar industrial complex is finished. I placed some Flak in the middle. Make a nice firework.

 

Its astonishing, that Flak hits something. This time the tailsection of my wingman.

BTW: Does Argentina has SAM?

We have some Roland II Trailers

There was a canceled proyect named:  TAM VCLM, it was a TAM Chassis with a Roland II turret (it can be found on the SF1 section)

And we had Strela 2M, Blowpipe and RBS 70 NG

I have started to create an industrial area near the town of Pilar, north west of Buenos Aires.

Thanks Gepard!!!  for the uruguayan side you can add Botnia Paperworks, near Fray Bentos and Gualeguaychú on the coast of the Rio Uruguay.

this factory caused an international incident and protestors blocked the international bridge for more than 3 years.

"Tabaré Vázquez mentioned in October 2011 that he had considered the possibility of an armed conflict with Argentina over the topic, and sought support of the United States (during the presidency of George Bush) in such a case. He had interviews with Condoleezza Rice, and ordered the military commanders to stay ready"

Vote for Gepard, he's the only one currently creating jobs in the SF2 world....

i hope they pay a bonus for dangerous work, or inverst in good AAA and SAMS, being bombed isnt nice.

Taking off from Isla Martin Garcia Airport

It looks like the offending vessel, let get closer and get visual id.

yes, this is the right ship

Kono, change your course to 120 degrees and prepare to be boarded.

No answer? fire a few warning shots

Tower, this is flight 452, the ship is turning back, returning to base, over.

Safe Landing :)

I found the time to include the parking plane positions of Montevideo Airport.

16 parking slots for small planes and 16 for large planes.

Montevideo need the pseudo AC-47 from Uruguayan Air Force, dont you agree @wilches?

FAU 508 with 3 .50 machine guns on the side, the other two where  FAU 510 and FAU 514, sadly it was only a test and this configuration only lasted a few days.

Isla Martin Garcia, what an incredible work Gepard!!

too bad the doesnt release the source code, im sure the community can fix a lot of bugs and enable discarded features.

maybe some kind of licence that allows him to still make profits from the .lods and art, like FreeSpace Open did.

53 Years Ago Pan Am Took Its First Boeing 747

Pan Am introduced the 747-100 on January 22nd, 1970. The aircraft would become synonymous with the legacy carrier, bringing a new age of flight to the world. For many, the first time on a plane was with the type due to the affordability and opportunity that came with it.

Pan Am initially planned for the 747 to begin flying commercially on January 21st. However, activity was delayed due to technical issues impacting the aircraft that was due to fly. Thus, the next day, another jumbo took the lead. It transported 335 passengers and 20 crewmembers from JFK to London Heathrow to kick off global jumbo operations.

More than 1,560 747s have been built since the program began in the 1960s. The last unit of the series is set to be delivered in October 2022, with the final customer being Atlas Air. In the passenger space, the 747-8 is largely keeping the family’s operations going, with the likes of Lufthansa, Korean Air, Air China, and several government departments flying the model. Air China, Air India, Asiana Airlines, Atlas Air, Lufthansa, Mahan Air, and Rossiya Airlines have also been flying the once-popular 747-400 in recent times.

When it comes to the 747-100, 168 units were produced in total. Of these builds, 167 were delivered to customers. This variant is still in service. Namely, the Iran Air Force holds a cargo modification. The department also maintains the -200C and 200F. Speaking of the military, the 747 has famously provided the role of Air Force One since 1990. This title is the official air traffic control call sign for a US Air Force aircraft carrying the US president.

Overall, the 747, along with other quadjets in the industry, has fallen out of fashion for more efficient twinjets. Nonetheless, the Queen of the Skies is a favorite among the aviation community, giving a sense of nostalgia and pride for many. With over five decades in service, the 747 is truly an icon and will leave a legacy for decades to come.

Excelent work and many thanks Gepard!!! :)

In the next version please add BAM Punta Indio (Base Aeronaval Punta Indio) its located near the blue cross and its operated by the argentine navy (in this timeframe it could house the s-2 trackers, super entendard, neptune, orion and so on)

For the Argentine Navy we had only the carrier and the General Belgrano cruiser. Thatswhy i modified the stock Gearing class destroyers to make it working as argetine ship.

 

The same i made with the Sumner class, of which the argentinians had 3 vessels.

If you have YAP you can use this file: (i dont know if the .LOD file is in YAP Revamp, but of course you will need to ask for permision to redistribute)

there is also another version that doesnt use YAP FIles but havent tested it:

congratulations!!! your map is excelent and is showing a lot of progress :)

im sure lots of players here use the great Nations & Medals Expansion made by Menrva, maybe you shoud add SovietNavy as enemy in your nations file.
