Back in 2005-2007 (that is 17 years ago... ouch) we were developing a theatre for Falcon 4, that covered the war that lasted for over 25 years between the Cuban led FAPA-DAA and the SAAF... We introduced new flyable aircraft (many a firsts in Falcon) e.g.
Mirage IIIC and E Variants
Mirage IIIRZ and R2Z
Mirage F1AZ and CZ
Impala MK2 (MB-326KC)
Cheetah E and D/2
Buccaneer SMk50
Canberra
yup even an Alouette III, Super Frelon and Puma helicopters
and props eg C47, C130B, C160Z, Bosbok
SU-22/25/27
MiG-15/17/21bis/23
The South African Air Force gave us incredible support and access to all aircraft (and in most cases performance data, flight manuals etc) including the Hawk and Gripen and it seems so many years later in would be incredible to "port" this shelved project over to DCS....
I will post some thoughts/pics of the old SAAFOPS and information regarding the war/campaign in Angola and see where it goes
