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.

There is one AD Skyraider that is historically correct with "certain" Canadian markings. This thread got me to reread a few pages of Stuart E. Soward's "Hands to Flying Stations (A recollective History of Canadian Naval Aviation Volume one 1945 - 1954".
In September 1953 a joint naval Exercise Mariner was held in the North Atlantic and came under impossibly thick fog because of the major current confluences. Some 52 strike aircraft from the USS Wasp, USS Bennington, and HMCS Magnificent (precursor of the Bonaventure) were eventual stranded in the air with no relief in sight, and a plan for ditching in zero visibility, near dusk, eastward near the sub Redfin, was not greeted with any enthusiam. A few Corsairs (the last to launch) were able to immediately return and land on Bennington. The all-afternoon worrying eventually led to panic landing as the visibility began to slightly ease to 100 feet, and three hundred in some cases. All aircraft were successfully recovered.
In the melee, a US Navy Skyraider, captained by Ensign Jim Elster made for the deck of the Magnificent. He spent the night and reportedly took off for his carrier the next morning with a hangover. US boats were dry except for medicinal brandy, but the Maggie had three bars.
The air maintenance crew had plastered his Skyraider with all sorts of Naval graffiti, but the Commodore had it all removed before Ensign Elster took off; however a red Maple Leaf with the name Maggie underneath was left on each fuselage side, smack in the middle of the white star of the USN star and bars. Reports say that they were still there even after two overhauls of the Skyraider. The aircraft was the typical spec blue of the period.
So there is an historical precedent.
Cheers

How's this? Still WIP, bits and parts of mappings I have to figure out
Arrrggg ... the torture of not having FSX ... or more accurately, not having a PC that could effectively run it! I should take up busking ... no, can't play anything .... how about "will write witicisms for spare change?" - yeah, I know - better stick to my day job.
Fantastic. Will download and tuck away for when I get FSX - outstanding!

That looks awesome, thanks a million! I should really point out that there called Suez stripes not D-day stripes just before someone feels like correcting me!
