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.

You need to add this aircraft, parked in one of the revetments on the south side of the field. It is a Navy NC-121J of OASU in 1966/67,
which became VX-8 then VXN-8 in the 1970 time frame.
I crewed on that aircraft, ,flying missions every evening in the summer of 1967. We went north and orbited over the
South China Sea of Haiphong and as soon as the NVN radio station went off the air I 'brought us up' on the same frequency,
broadcasting audio tape content that was delivered to us on the flight line every evening. We flew missions under the
auspices of SOG.
From one of the web sites: "The objective of Project Jenny was to build a flying platform for TV and radio broadcast for troop entertainment and psychological warfare"
I think I have an FS2004 L1049 painted as 'Blue Eagle 1', '627' floating around on one of my hard drives. Could be converted to
a static MDL of just a static AI.

Thanks for those Rich, it is amazing the amount of people with the interest and peoples still following up with so much, the aircraft types and adding today's movies showing a littleExcuse poor quality scans from my cruise book . The pics were old and so is the scanner . Danang made a aircraft history buff out of me for sure . Just a small list of AC I saw there : The grand old " War Horse " F-8U " , A-6's , A-4's , F-4's , 105's , Navy and Air Force versions of the 121's , 130's , 123's , A-1's , O-1's , O-2's just to name a few .
That is one aircraft the captures everyone's imagination "every known piece of ordnance you could think of" Ya simply have to love it !Loved watching the S Viet AF taxi the A-1's loaded with every known piece of ordnance you could think of and the big old radials grunting and growling.
Thanks for the heads up RamiGood evening,
This is the SOH librarian. I have modified the original package following the instructions carefully. However, given the size of the original download versus the update, I will leave the update in the library for seven days prior to removing the update. This should allow time for those using the scenery to get their hands on the update without having to download the entire package again. After one week, the update will be removed, leaving the original download with the update included.
If you can find that texture you've mentioned it would be greatly appreciated. I've got an interest in special or arcane aircraft from that period. Those antennae on top of that -121 are impressive.
