AMI F-84F 51-54 YOYO texture

Hi YOYO,

Is your SSW AMI F-84F texture (tail number 36840) available anywhere? It is beautiful!

Best regards, Bill
 
YoYo, if I could get a Georgia Air National Guard F-84 like that, I would buy the aircraft just to have it. I like having all the local historical fighters. :)

Great Stuff on the MOANG.

These are really interesting airplanes historically. about 2400 airframes were built in the F model, which was the swept wing variety. The G was mostly for export. However, these airplanes moved between squadrons and even between allied air forces with great regularity. I have a txt file which has the squadron level history of the 50 airplanes that served with the two Georgia Air National Guard squadrons. (128th and 158th FS) during 1957-58. Everyone of these aircraft with only 1 or two exceptions served with between 5-10 different squadrons both in the ANG and the regular USAF over its life. What is interesting is the number of USAF aircraft that were transferred to and back from allied air forces in Europe. France, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Turkey in particular. I am assuming this was part of the MAP program and was strategic in managing defense assets against cold war soviet/warsaw pact forces.

I always found the F-84 swept wing variants to be big, ugly brutes of airplanes and cool for that very reason. All business, though they did serve with the Thunderbirds!

Hi Eric,
Just for information,can you please provide a picture of the 84 with the GA ANG paintscheme?
Another info: SSW F84 replicates the G and later cockpit (for G i intend the "Code" version inside the AFM).
As you probably know,the first versions of the F-84F (25GK,30RE,30GK,35RE,) had the "low tail" configuration. Our model has the "high tail",typical of versions from 35-RE and later.
All the paintschemes I did are for the "high tail" configuration,I do not like to paint something not true. Below an example of the difference between low and high tail.

Which scenery?

Those are the Dare Bombing Ranges (US Air Force & US Navy) in Dare County, North Carolina. I have been on both ranges and been at a near distance when live ordy was being dropped there.

Regarding the scenery, it is Freeware & I think its available over at the VRS forums but I don't immediately know the link. Should turn up in a Google search.
