Viper101 Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Alright well I am aware of a skin on the A-10 in LOMAC to be the skin of the Maryland National Guard but this is my question. Why is my home states football team (Baltimore Ravens) emblem doing on the side of the Flipper A-10 scheme in lomac when they have not relation to the military or an A-10! compare THIS: TO THIS: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Aeroscout Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 lol. honostly, I have no Idea? Is the squadren named the "ravens"? maybe ED or Ubi screwed up? i dunno... DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
Tigerwolf Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 My guess is that the pilot of the real a-10 that the scheme is based on was from baltimore (or he just liked the team) so he had it put on his plane. :thumbup:
Aeroscout Posted March 16, 2007 Posted March 16, 2007 Ya, could be. It's placed right next to the pilots name, so that would make sense.

Aeroscout Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Ok, nice. Someone should start making all of these authentic skins...

Viper101 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Posted March 17, 2007 yeah thats Maryland Air National Guard....notice the MD on the tails and the flag :) plus that picture was taken at Martin State Airport (national guard runs half of it) but my question is why is the raven on the Flipper skin and not the 104th in LOMAC? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Viper101 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Posted March 17, 2007 (edited) WHAT IS THIS....the emblem of the 104th is an Oriole with boxing gloves on and which team is known for that bird? MARYLAND or Baltimore Orioles and their our Baseball team. http://www.mdang.ang.af.mil/ Hmmmm thats pretty weird to me for them using both emblems of our football and baseball teams :P Edited September 4, 2010 by Viper101 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

EricJ Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Actually Viper101, if you check out Airliners.net, you can see quite a few A-10s with sports emblems on them (one of my reference pics has the Red Sox emblem, along with other bits prominently on them). Matter of fact there's a couple old reference files I used from TwoBobs for one of my CAW-Carrier Ops that one F-14 had "GO NAVY" while the other had "BEAT ARMY" so it appears every so often on various military aircraft. Generally speaking, the military is about competition, so naturally for sports teams to sometimes appear on aircraft or other items isn't too surprising, since sports by it's nature is compettitive.
