A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FSX Military skins - Vietnam

Description: This is my repaint of the Alphasim RA-5C Vigilante Modified by Bob Chicilo, October 5, 2007. Updated in 2016 by LLS. This is a superb moded with realistic VC. All new automatic throttle afterburners, sounds, and more. FSX native conversion, full original Alpha Vigilante.

I was attached to RVAH-1 (Smokin' Tigers) in the early 1970's. This repaint is the exact copy of one of my squadron aircraft, 603. I took care to make every possible markings correct from pictures I have of the aircraft. I worked on these aircraft for two years. This repaint of mine brings back many memories in the U.S. Navy. The pilot was that flew 603 was CMDR Jim Catron and the RAN officer was Lt. L. G. Kurtz. On our Westpack Cruise aboard the USS Saratoga in Viet Nam, Lt. Cdr. C. H. Smith and LT. Kurtz were hit by a SAM and ejected safely. Both were rescued and picked up by helos from HC-7 in Haiphong, Viet Nam.

RVAH-1 was a Reconnaissance Attack (Heavy) Squadron of the U.S. Navy. Originally established as Heavy Attack Squadron One (VAH-1) on 1 November 1955, it was redesignated as Reconnaissance Attack (Heavy) Squadron One (RVAH-1) on 1 September 1964. RVAH-1 was disestablished in January 19, 1979.

This is a great aircraft! Thanks to LLC for udating to FSX.
