There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

One of the old SAAF Atlas Impala II bases is AFB Bloemfontain (FABL) and luckily for us virtual flyers there is a superb FABL scenery available for FSX made by Frits Beyer. He has even made the city itself.
I have done some more work on a quick and dirty Impala II repaint as it looked during the mid/late 1980s when they were used during the border war flying out of the SAAF bases in South West Africa (Namibia). I have pictures showing 1082 in the revetments at Ondangwa air base, but since they carried no decals beside the number it is for me impossible to tell if it is from 4 Sqn or 8 Sqn, which were the two operational Impala II squadrons.
Of particular interest with this scheme compared to the default Impala scheme as included in the pack:
-No national decals
-Brown wing fences
-Painted gunbay panel (not bare metal)
-Light blue grey underside
-Camouflage extend to the extreme nose
