Ellsworth AFB, late 1950's, my mother and I witnessed the T-Birds in F100s. My ears still hurt from the low passes over the crowd. I think we actually ducked. At the end of the show the jets pulled right up to us and the ground crew folded up that nose antenna. No photos, only fond memories.

No offense meant to the Air Guard repaints that are currently shown as a part of the initial release but... I'd like to offer up my thoughts for representative Guard units that flew the "Hun" as a part of the Vietnam conflict and served their country respectably, and with Honor.
1968, in the wake of the "U.S.S. Pueblo Incident," Six Air Force Air National Guard units were "Federalized" and ordered onto Active-Duty. 2 went to South Korea, and the other 4 units ended up being deployed to Vietnam for year long tours as part of the build up after the "Tet Offensive." The first Guard unit to arrive in Southeast Asia was the 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the Colorado Air National Guard. (Cougars) Soon followed by the 136th TFS, New York Air Guard, (Fuzzy) the 174th TFS of the Iowa Air National Guard, (The Bats) and the 188th TFS of the New Mexico ANG. (The Enchilada Air Force). These units flew a total 24,124 Combat Sorties and accumulated 38,614 hours of combat flying. 6 Guard Pilots were Killed in Action (1-CO, 1-IA, 3-NM, 1-NY) and 8 Guard Pilots volunteered for the "Misty" Fast-FAC program. The Guard squadrons outperformed their active duty counterparts in every Wing they were attached to. Their professionalism set the bar high and showed that "Weekend Warriors" could maintain the same standards as active duty squadrons. They paved the way for how you see todays Air Guard units deployed to augment Active duty forces in combat currently. Would be great to seeColorado, Iowa, New York and New Mexico Air Guard honored with repaints of this most anticipated addition to the FS world! The Super Sabre may be viewed historically as our "First" Supersonic Fighter. But it's combat record as a Close Air Support Fighter in Vietnam is its lasting Legacy.
Note: There were also members of the other two squadrons, the 119th TFS, New Jersey, and the 121st TFS Washington D.C. ANG, that became a part of a composite Squadron that served at Phu Cat TDY after they finished their primary call-up mission.

Same here. They really do produce excellent models of some of my all time favourite aircraft.
I always loved the shape of the Phantom, and it was the first jet I saw flying at my first airshow, so I was really excited when that was released.
Now if they would just do an F-117 (waits for the jeers
) and F-111 ( I already have four payware and many more freeware F-111s, but I would still buy a Milviz version).The F-100D looks spectacular.
Cheers,
