Any way the flight suit can be made to select for orange and dark blue in addition to the sage green and sand?  Iran pre-revolutionary wore the orange, also Japan wore it, and it was issued to test squadrons and ADC units in the USAF, of which Iceland was one.  The dark blue was special issue to the Thunderbird team.

Yeah, I’m with you there. Shame there probably isn’t a business case for an F/RF-101 module….

I don't even need a flyable module, just more 50's/60's ai aircraft would be great to go with upcoming modules

What I'd give for a Voodoo module, or even AI...

 

Will the paintkit for the Phantom be released at the same time as the module?

I remember a movie from when I was a kid with a Voodoo... loved it.. 
Can't remember the name of it though.

 

EDIT: Actually.. The Bridges of Toko Ri.

and F9 Panther... I obviously have zero idea... 🙂

So since the OP asked for MiG killers, and I didn't see many of these in here or in the list on discord I thought Id take a look myself. Hopefully these aren't all reposts.... I focused mostly on F-4Es that survived the war and were upgraded with Leading edge slats etc in 74, aka something similar to what our F-4 will be. A bit late to the party but maybe its still helpful...

Anyway in no particular order:

69-7235 Killed a MiG-21 on a chaff bombing mission during Linebacker I. Upgraded with LES in 74. Later converted to F-4G and even later to QF-4G and blown up by an AMRAAM.

68-0493 Killed a MiG-21. LES upgrade in 74. Later sold to ROKAF.

0289901.jpg

67-0392 killed 2 MiG-19s in separate incidents. Recieved LES in 75. Later served in AFRES, now hangs in a museum in virginia.

67-0232 killed a MiG-21 with the gun in Oct 72. The 2nd last F-4E kill during the Vietnam war. LES mods in 74. Stored at AMARC before being sold to Turkey  in 87.

67-0301 got the last kill by an F-4E in Vietnam, shortly after 67-0232 above. Recieved slats in 1975. Given to Turkey in 1992 after desert storm. In a stunning display of brilliance they flew it into the water while violating Greek airspace in 1995.

66-313 and 67-0362 were both transferred to Israel in 73 as part of Operation Nickel Grass. 67-0362 was Steve Ritchie's aircraft for a double MiG-21 kill on 8 July 72.

68-0337 didn't kill any MiGs... but its a nice livery made to commemorate the victories during Vietnam.
