| Spitfire Mk.IX MK923 |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the Aeroplane Heaven/Justflight Spitfire. This particular Spitfire Mk.IX, MK923, has an amazing history behind it. Being built in 1944 it saw service in WWII with 126 Squadron and participated in the D-Day invasion. After the war the aircraft went on to serve in the RNAF and then the Royal Belgian AF. The aircraft was flown in the movie The Longest Day in 1961. MK923 was purchased by actor Cliff Robertson in 1963 and brought to the US, painted in the markings it wore during WWII (126 Suadron), and was flown by legendary WWII RCAF pilot Jerry Billing for 22.5 years on the airshow circuit. Under the controls of Jerry Billing it was the only Spitfire to participate ever in extreme low passes at airshows in the US. In 1994, when Jerry Billing retired from flying the Spitfire, it was sold to Craig McGraw and loaned to the Seattle Museum of Flight where it remains to this day in flying condition but no longer flown.

File Description:
FS2004 USAF/MATS Convair CV-240 VBF in colors of 1952. The Convair with cn 264 was one of a bunch of T-29B-CO (CV-240-27) delivered to the U.S. Air Force September 16, 1952 and on July 15, 1953 assigned to the 1299 Transport Squadron of Military Air Transport Service (MATS). She was equipped with standard high density seating for staff transport and painted in the typically MATS livery of the early fifties. On July 13, 1956 she was converted to VC-131A standard and fitted with the weather mapping radar used extensively on the model CV-440 and on many CV-340 models. The last operator of this Convair was the 86th Tactical Fighter Wing based at Stuttgart (Germany). She came to AMARC on May 06, 1975 and was sold off for scrap on November 23, 1994. Textures and associated model file included only. Requires cv240VBFmilitary_basepack_010.ZIP.

Images related to this file:
File Description:
Naval Air Station Sigonella, "The Hub of the Med", is a U.S. Navy installation at NATO Base Sigonella and an Italian Air Force base in Sicily, Italy. Although a tenant of the Italian Air Force, NAS Sigonella acts as landlord to more than 40 other U.S. commands and activities. It is located 15 km west and 11 km south of the city of Catania. Sigonella also serves as an Italian base for the 41º Stormo Antisom (41st Antisubmarine Warfare Wing). Among the aircraft that fly from this island base are U.S. Air Force C-130, C-17 and C-5 airlifters as well as KC refueling aircraft and a rotating squadron of forward-deployed U.S. Navy P-3 Orions. The Italian Air Force also fields the venerable Breguet Atlantic patrol aircraft. It is one of the most frequently used stops for U.S. airlift aircraft bound from the continental United States to Southwest Asia and the Indian Ocean. Scenery contains all new 3D models and AI aircraft. Package is stand-alone but additional downloads may be helpful (see docs for details).

| Sunnyvale Air Station circa 1933 |

File Description:
FS2004 Scenery for Sunnyvale Air Station circa 1933. Known for 75 years as Moffett Field Naval Air Station, this unique site started life as Sunyvale Field (then Air Station) and was planned as the west coast base of the new Dirigible U.S.S. Macon.
The Macon was a new direction for airships in that it carried a squadron of fighter/scout aircraft and would provide for the U.S. Navy a 'carrier in the sky'. To provide for this new queen of the skies a new base was created with a unique hangar, for many years the largest free-standing wood construction in world.
This scenery attempts to capture Sunnyvale as it was first opened in 1933. I have taken a few liberties like adding in full grown trees that were part of the original master plan but I believe you will find this base captures the spirit of the original. Scenery contains custom FSDS and Gmax models as well as period AI from J.R. Lucariny (F9C SParrowhawk) and a custom repaint of the default Ford Trimotor by Ed Moore and Gary Smith.

| Milk Wagon Boeing B-17G |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint (textures only) for the Donationware B-17G Late from FighterTown Design Group. You can get it here for a great price!! www.donationware.net
Thank you FDG for providing this great plane!!
Special thanks go to Jarink, who is a repainter in IL-2/PF. Jarink was kind enough to send me his layered photoshop files of the Noseart that I used for these repaints. I also used his repaints as a guide for my repaints.
This texture represents "Milk Wagon" from the 708th Bomb Squadron, 447th Bomb Group. Milk Wagon was the top mission-flying plane in the 3rd Air Division with 129 missions flown.
Mr. August Altese, navigator on the James Young crew, tells of the origins of the aircraft's name:
"Our first mission was June 21st 1944 to Berlin. When we returned to base we were asked what we thought of our first mission out of England as compared to the missions that we had flown out of Italy with the 15th AF. We replied it was a milk run, and named our ship the Milk Wagon and indicated each mission flown with a milk bottle."

| Vought F4U-1A Corsair "Planes of Fame" |
|
File Description:
This is a repaint only for the Aeroplane Heaven Early Corsair and Megapack releases. This repaint depicts Vought F4U-1A Corsair Bu #17799 owned and operated by the Planes of Fame Museum, Chino, CA. This aircraft is actually the oldest Corsair currently flying. While it is known that this aircraft went to the Pacific, its combat assignment and record is not known. Based on its serial number, which places it right between several Black Sheep Squadron Corsairs, there is a chance it was part of the historic group. It was owned by MGM between 1960 and 1970, being used as a movie prop. Ed Maloney purchased the aircraft in 1970 and it has been with the Planes of Fame Museum ever since. The aircraft was also one of several Corsairs that were used in the TV series "Baa Baa Black Sheep." Its current paint scheme is that of what would have been a very rare paint scheme on a Corsair during WWII. Because the actual airplane is fitted with a D model canopy this repaint is meant to be installed into the D model folder though shows up under the F4U-1A designation.

| P-51D 31st FG/308th FS HL-N 'Flying Dutchman' |
|
File Description:
In December 1943, Robert Goebel was assigned as a Replacement Pilot to the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. He shipped out to North Africa and arrived at Oran, Algeria. He was assigned to the Supermarine Spitfire equipped 31st Fighter Group of the 12th Air Force and was checked out in the Spitfire at Telergma. As he joined the 31st FG at Castel Volturno, Italy on April 1, 1944, the Group had started a transition to the North American P-51B Mustang and its main mission changed from Close Support of front-line troops to Fighter Escort for the heavy bombers of the 15th Air Force. Lt. Goebel was assigned to the 308th Fighter Squadron. Eventually, the 31st FG were equipped with the P-51D-model Mustangs. Captain Goebel flew 61 combat missions from the 31st FG's base at San Severo, Italy including one of the FRANTIC Russian Shuttle missions. He led the 308th FS into combat seven times and the entire 31st FG into battle twice. Captain Goebel, still only 21 years old, rotated home to the USA as a highly decorated fighter ace with 11 aerial victories.

File Description:
This freeware AI package, produced by Military AI Works contains everything needed to activate Siauliai Air Base in FS2004.
Once a Soviet air base, Siauliai officially became Lithuanian Air Force's major airfield in 1993. The Lithuanian Air Force
was founded in 1992, soon after the fall of the Soviet Union, when an An-2 marked with the double Cross of Vytis took off
from Barysiai airfield. In 1993 Barysiai was named First Aviation Base.
After Lithuania applied for NATO membership in 1994, the Lithuanian Government transferred military operations to Zokniai airfield, close to the city of Siauliai. As of today, Siauliai hosts a transport squadron equipped with three Alenia C-27s and an L-410 plus a single L-39.
The airfield also hosts NATOs Baltic Air Policing forces. Aircraft models: Miljan Korac (C-27), MAKS Sim (L-410),
