File Description:
Spitfire IXc EN186 was the personal aircraft of S/L L.C. Wade, an American flying with the RAF. Wade was born in the small farming community of Broaddus, Texas in 1915. He was the second son of Bill and Susan Wade, who named him L.C. (only after the RAF demanded a forename did he call himself Lance Cleo Wade). After the family moved to a farm near Reklaw, Texas in 1922 he worked on the family farm and attended the local school. He was unable to join the US Army Aviation Cadet Program due to a lack of a college education. He began flying at age 17, at Tucson, Arizona. In 1934 at age 19, Wade joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in Arizona. He joined the RAF in Canada in December 1940 and trained with No. 52 Operational Training Unit (OTU). Wade was then sent to the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal and flew off her deck in Hawker Hurricane to reinforce the depleted ranks of aircraft on the island of Malta. He was then sent to Egypt as a Hawker Hurricane Mk I pilot in September 1941, and was posted to 33 Squadron. The squadron's mission was to provide close air support for Operation Crusader, the British assault launched on November 18, 1941, against the German Afrika Korps. His first kills were two Fiat CR.42s on 18 November. He attained the rank of "ace" on 24 November 1941. He began flying Hurricane Mk IIs in April 1942, and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC). He had 13 victories as of September 1942. He spent the next several months back in the US on various RAF projects including evaluating some American fighters at Wright Field. He returned to combat as a Flight Commander in 145 Squadron with a Bar to his DFC, flying Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vs. Promoted to squadron leader, he had a busy 60 days, as by the end of April his score was 21, by then flying Spitfire Mk IXs. His squadron moved to Italy, and as a Spitfire VIII pilot he claimed two Focke-Wulf Fw 190s of Schlachtgeschwader 4 on 2 October 1943. His last claims were three FW 190s (again of SG 4) damaged on 3 November. Wade became a wing commander and joined the staff of the Desert Air Force but was there only briefly, as he was killed in a flying accident on 12 January 1944 at Foggia, Italy. In 30 fights for which he made claims he was credited with 23 victories including two shared), one probable, and 13 damaged. He is also credited with one destroyed and five damaged on the ground.
Wing Commander Wade is usually listed with 25 victories but official RAF records show that he had 22 solo victories and half each of two more for a total of 23, not counting one probable. Regardless of whether his score is 25, or 23 victories, he is still the leading American fighter ace to serve exclusively in any foreign air force.
Since he never transferred to the USAAF, or any other American Air service, Wade never got the publicity that other American aces received and thus is more obscure than his peers.
The aircraft depicted in this repaint, EN186, started its active career with 249 sqn on Malta, who used it for high flying reconaissance, and who were responsible for replacing the dark green with Mediterranean Blue. The aircraft was then transferred to Tunisia, where it was the personal aircraft of W/C Gleed of the 244 wing. After his death, it went to L.C. Wade, who scored 5 victories with it in april 1943. He did not apply any codes to it, and referred to it in his logbook as BB, for Blue Bird. He flew it till august 1943, when he changed to flying Spitfire MK VIII JF472

File Description:
Re-upload. FS2004 Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation Paintkit. This paintkit is a supplement for the FS2004 Lockheed Super Constellation series project by Team 1049 - Roland Berger, Volker Boehme, Manfred Jahn, Luis Pallas, Bill Tyne, and Stefan Werner. In designated folders you will find templates in 32 bit format (incl. Alpha Channel) which form a basis for making repaints of textures of several versions of the turbo-compound powered Super Constellations. Represented are: R7V-1 (naval transport), C-121C (air force transport), VC-121E (air force VIP transport), L-1049G (overland passenger aircraft) and L-1049G (overwater passenger aircraft), L-1049H (passenger/freighter aircraft), and L-1049C-55-83 (special domestic version of L-1049C passenger aircraft for Eastern Air Lines). The templates of the L-1049G can also be used to make repaints for the L-1049C (overland and overwater) and L-1049E (overland and overwater). The templates of the L-1049H can also be used for the L-1049D. The templates of the R7V-1 can also be used for the C-121G and C-121J. The templates, based on the textures by Manfred Jahn, have been made by Maarten Brouwer. These templates have been tested in FS2004 (FS9) only.

| TLPC George F. L. Charles Airport Castries, Saint Lucia |
|
File Description:
George F. L. Charles Airport (TLPC) is a small airport in Saint Lucia, mostly serving the caribbean Islands. It is the airport that is situated in the north of the island in the capital city of Castries.
It serves quite a few regional airlines mainly operating turbo props like the dash8, ATR and smaller types, but has handled bigger types in the past such as MD82 (BWIA) and B722 (AMERIJET). Since stopped because of noise complaints. (SIGHS)
This is my first attempt at scenery design. I was motivated to build this scenery because I grew up near the airport and always enjoyed flying in there Whether in real or in the sim.
Since FSX, there`s been no scenery built for it and I could not stand the default scenery. So almost two years ago, not knowing a thing about scenery design and where to start, I embarked on this project. It is by no means perfect, but I think it is better than what is on offer. There are no custom ground textures cause I have not worked it out yet, maybe in a later update. The buildings where all made with Google Sketchup8 free version and converted with ModelConverterX and added to FSX with Instant Scenery 2. ENJOY.

| Grumman F 14B Tomcat 'Jolly Rogers' |
|
File Description:
These are textures ***ONLY*** and are applied to Jeff Dobbing and D.Cattaneo's Grumman F 14B, filename: f14bfs9a.zip; available at http://www.fsfreeware.com/cgi-bin/dcd_a/dcd.cgi I wish to thank these gentlemen for providing us with such a fine model of this aircraft and their kind permission to repaint it. These are 32-bit textures with no mip-maps to preserve image clarity.
These textures are the "hi-viz" paint scheme that the CAG (Commander Air Group), XO's, and show aircraft wear. Basic differences are that the stripes on the fuselage under the cockpit are outlined in yellow as are the tail-fins, and the drop tanks are glossy black and carry the same yellow/black stripes as the fuselage does. Also the fins below the engines are outlined in yellow. Instead of a flat black, they use a glossy black on the black areas of the Tomcat. The yellow/black colors do make for a nice contrast. The significance of the yellow and black colors are a carry-over from the early days of VF-84 and when the "colors" were passed to VF-103 after VF-84 was decommissioned VF-103 "show" aircraft carry the full squadron colors in remembrance of VF-84 and past squadrons that carried the "Jolly Rogers" mantel. They are subtle differences in the paint schemes but have some meaning for the squadrons.
Enjoy! Heather

a call that the truck had an accident on the road and the three characters have run into the mountains. Not
wasting time he has asked the nearby Air Force Base for help. General Gustrgy Bonklovsky commander of the base and circus lover, has agreed to provide him with a SAR helicopter that will search the area and find at all cost the Animals....You are called to be the pilot for the mission at hand.

| Lions Air Dornier 328 EXECJet |
|
File Description:
With this I took some liberties... Lions Air Flies the Dornier and on their turbo
prop version has what I think is quite a beautiful paint scheme... I applied (to the
limits of my basic Microsoft Paint program) a close representation of this. Since
they do not..to my knowledge fly the Exec Jet version... I changed a couple of
things.. the LIONS AIR on the engine cowls is not quite the right size - and the
Lion's Head is not quite the same - this is because I haven't yet found a clipart
that is close enough to modify (However am still searching and will upload something
closer when I find it, which of course will change the Cowl display.. and then I will correct the size. I included a photo of the prototype in the file so you can see for yourself. Also.. if you use a panel that includes cockpiut and cabin views like I do(I use the panel from the Fokker F100 -- hey, its close and like I would ever see the flight deck of a real 328 anyway LOL) I have included a .jpg of the Exec Cabin... just convert to a .bmp and paste over the cabin view in your favorite panel... Textures only... you will need to download the Mike Stone package... pmstone.com
One last item... will also attempt to smooth out the curve... toward the center of
the aircraft... this is because the fuse is in two sections... but... hey, am still
an extreme novice at this

| B-24 USAAF 489th BG "Sharon D" |
|
File Description:
This Ford-built B-24H was assigned to Lt Col Leon Vance, deputy commander of the 489th BG. It was Vance who had brought the aircraft from the US to Halesworth. The bomber was named after its pilot’s infant daughter Sharon, who had been born in 1942. Lt Col Vance was flying a different aircraft on the 5 June 1944 mission against a German coastal defence complex near Wimereaux, France-a mission in which the latter aircraft was lost, and for which Vance was awarded the Medal of Honor. He was the only B-24 crew member in the Eighth Air Force accorded this distinction whilst flying a mission from the UK. Vance was heading home to recover from combat wounds when he went down on a C-54 Skymaster carrying wounded and crippled veterans over the North Atlantic on 26 July 1944. In October 1946, at the age of four, Sharon Vance travelled via US Army Air Forces transport to Enid, Oklahoma (now home of Vance Air Force Base), for a ceremony in which Maj Gen James P Hodges gave her the Medal of Honor awarded to her father. Today, daughter Sharon Kiernan of San Diego, California, is an Air Force wife, and she helps to keep alive the memory of her father, and of the bomber named after her. The Sharon D retained its nickname throughout the war, and was eventually transferred to the 445th BG. It survived the conflict, and was eventually broken up for scrap.

| Goodyear FG-1D Corsair VF-17 #29 Lt Kepford |

Images related to this file:
File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the FG-1D Corsair by Milviz, in the colors of F4U-1 BuNo 55995 of VF-17, the aircraft flown by Lt (jg) Ira C. Kepford, Bougainville, February 1944. Ira Cassius Kepford was born in Harvey, Illinois, on May 29, 1919, son of George Raymond and Emma McLaughlin Kepford. His family moved to Muskegon, Michigan, shortly after he was born. An all-around athlete at Muskegon High School from 1935-1937, he capped his prep career by being named an All-State back in his senior year. He enrolled at Northwestern University in 1938 to study for a dentistry career.
He enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve on August 18, 1941, and was honorably discharged on April 29, 1942, to accept appointment as Aviation Cadet, U.S.N.R. After flight training at the Naval Air Stations, Corpus Christi, Texas, and Miami, Florida, he became a Naval Aviator on November 5, 1942, and was commissioned Ensign, U.S.N.R., with date of rank October 16, 1942.
Detached from Naval Air Station, Miami, Florida, in December 1942, he served with Fighting Squadron 17 in the Pacific War Area until March 1944, where he became the U.S. Navy's leading ace, scoring a record 16 confirmed Japanese planes destroyed. That squadron won the Navy Unit Commendation and he was personally awarded the Navy Cross, a Gold Star in lieu of the second Navy Cross, the Silver Star Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
From March until June he was attached to the Fleet Air, Alameda, Command, and the last six months of that year served with Fighting Squadron 84. In December 1944 he was transferred to the staff of Commander Fleet Air, West Coast, and remained in that assignment throughout the remaining period of hostilities. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom.
