A great paint for one of my favourite MSFS24 aircraft.

A great paint for one of my favourite MSFS24 aircraft.

I was in the Navy stationed NAS Cubi Point Phillipines back in '67- '69 and this was one of the station aircraft. I use to load JATO bottles on this very
aircraft and watch it do JATO take offs in Subic Bay. NAS Cubi Point closed in Nov 1992 and is now Subic Bay International airport.

Very interesting! I sailed past that area numerous times, north and southbound, in the 1980s.

There is no doubt that JanKees has done the paint scheme justice, and it will bring back memories for you. Mike Johnson has done a wonderful job with the Albatross; no matter what add-ons come along, it is still an aircraft I return to regularly. Bags of character, all the details perfected, and you can go anywhere in it. Comprehensive paint kit too - I might dabble.

I just uploaded this paint to FS.2, together with these two:

Were you there as well back then? I love that museum. I'd say it is the best of the AF museums I have visited: Singapore (a close second!), Taiwan, and Switzerland. And no, I've not visited the USAF museum....but I ought to.

Try the Naval Air Museum at NAS Pensacola, there is an F-8C Crusader (VF-24) there that I use to load 20MM and other ordnance on back in 65/67
time frame.

Jan, Any way you could make these paints work on the 2020 version of the HU-16?
