Section F8 F-86 revisited

Thanks l'iguane! Beautiful as always.

512th Fighter Day Squadron was stationed at RAF Manston UK. In October 1954 the squadron moved to Soesterberg AB in the Netherlands were it would remain until September 1955. On paper the unit moved to RAF Bentwaters in the UK in 1955, however personnel and equipment remained at Soesterberg AB and were assigned to the newly activated 32nd Fighter Day Squadron.

According the USAF policy 32nd squadron was chosen because of its historical link with the Netherlands. During WWII, 32nd Pursuit Squadron had been based at Hato AB at Curacao which is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 32nd Squadron would remain at Soesterberg AB until 1994.

So this Sabre fits perfect with Ian's latest Manston scenery and with the early version of the future release of AVP's Soesterberg scenery.

Cheers,
Huub

L'iguane,

I was reading through this thread, I tried to find the Section-F8 Sabre and had no luck. I was Jealous , jealous I tell you, such beautiful work, and I could only watch from outside the airport fence. In desperation I went through my downloads from years ago when I had more time with FS9 and there in 2015 was the zipfile, waiting for me to discover your artwork 10 years later. I've downloaded the three files you have uploaded. I can not wait to see them in the sky. If you do the bare metal version perhaps I will attempt to repaint it in the markings of the W.V. ANG where my Father was a pilot. then they transtioned to the F-86H. After that the squadron transitioned to the BoxCar, and my Father not wanting to be a transport pilot transitioned to the N. J. ANG and the F-84F. Which is what he was flying when called up during the Berlin Crisis and went to France.

Thank You.
