KalAbaddon Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I feel much better. I am looking at that tail number and thinking to myself that is not a 77th, I worked on it at the 79th. I guess the 77th needed working jets so the 79th had to help out! :P Here are some pics of it with its true colors and proper squadron! Go 79th!
Agg Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 That's one dirty Viper though, if I didn't know better I'd think it was Greek :P
KalAbaddon Posted July 27, 2019 Author Posted July 27, 2019 Lol got me there. It is dirty! ( part of it is the have glass and the other part is cleaning those suckers is a PITA! )
=Panther= Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 That’s why I like the Have Glass schemes, looks a little meaner.

=Panther= Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Yeah that is interesting. Not really that odd, it's a training configuration with CATMs. Twitch Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC | Sponsored by Thrustmaster Z390 Aorus Xtreme, i9 9900k, G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB, 1080ti 11GB, Obutto R3Volution, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, TPR, Cougar MFDs, FSSB R3L, JetSeat, Oculus Rift S, Buddy-Fox A-10C UFC, F/A-18C UFC, Tek Creations F-16 ICP

Creature_1stVFW Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) That first picture must be old, because the S-210 launcher hanging on station 2 hasn’t been in the inventory for quite some time now. Edit: there’s one in the second photo also.

mvsgas Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Back in 2003/2004, when I was in Qatar with 510 AMU, is was very common to have several versions of the AIM-120 loaded. Makes since to me, flying the missiles adds maintenance (IIRC they used flight time nor operational time). Same way the wing man will have a different load that the lead. The lead might have a GBU-31 and two GBU-12 and the wing my have GBU-10 and a GBU-38 or one might have GBU-10 with mk-84 body the other may have GBU-31 with BLU-109 body. Those guys where flying some long hours tho, 13 to 16 hours. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
Creature_1stVFW Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Yes they were! Remember it like it was yesterday!

Edit: there’s one in the second photo also. definitely old but it fits the timeline for the DCS F-16 model iirc. Wait a sec. made me think, That trailer should of had that tail number be a 79th jet since it is modeled based on 2007 :P boo! Give us a 79th for the first skin! Or better yet a 13th from Misawa since its designator is WW and once the F-16 is in game it will show the F/A-18 how SEAD is really done! Go Wild Weasels!
