DaveRindner Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I just got DCS 1.5 working with MIG-21. Noticed that there is a skin for DRAKEN Int. A contractor out of Florida. Generally a training and tactical planning contractor. They have their own fleet of 15 Mig-21s, and other training and tactical aircraft. I am kind of surprised to see their name. Kind of cool, neat. I guess thats where military for low intensity conflicts are going. Private licenced, regulated, contractors, doing the job, when nations don't want to show their flag flying all over news. Lets hope no-one uses the M word. M Word- "mercenaries'.
Blaze Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Largest private air force in the world, and I live about 20 minutes away from it. Pretty great group of people and aircraft there. They also got licensed to do L-39NG (next gen) conversions there too.

Blaze Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 aircraft. 27 MiG-21 fighters, as well as Douglas A-4K Skyhawk attack jets and Aero L-39 Albatros and Aermacchi MB-339 tactical jet trainer aircraft. They just got their first L-159 ALCA too.

Sadly, their gain was NZ's loss : ( We miss the A4's and 339's around our skies.

zaelu Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Please check the numbers for the skin of the Draken International. Or use the attached one.

VTB_Bingo Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Draken International is a great company. I know every year we have the privilege of going to their hangar and the VIP events they hold. This year at Sun N Fun I was able to help with the crew from Aero Vodochody and discussed some things with them and Draken about the L-39NG. I took a bunch of photos while I was there, but not sure if I can post them without permission. I'll message the CEO, Jared Isaacman and see if it'll be alright to post some photos.
