1 JaboG 34, 1 JaboG 36, 2x JaboG 71 (Snoopy, one regular), 1 Recce Wing 71, 2x MFG 1, and 2x MFG 2.
5 Skins for the VSN F-104G, all based on former Royal Dutch Airforce Squadrons / Liveries.
The Grey Skin was originally used on one of two TF-104G`s wich were used for the pilots learning to fly the newly obtained F-104.
The Red White Blue tail skin was a livery used for 65 Years Royal Dutch Airforce.
And then we have one skin each for 322, 306, and 312 Squadron.
With the release of the VSN F-104 I have been working on several skins, but i needed a change from the annoying camouflages used by for example the Dutch Air Force, so i thought i`d make a couple simple ones for a change of scenery.
Hereby, 3 different variations of the QF-104 used in 1960`s as remote piloted aircraft testbeds, and later as targets for the then flying F-102 and F-106`s.
Mostly they flew out of Eglin Airforce Base, but sometimes also Holloman, and Point Mugu NAS, and of the +-22 QF-104`s none survived, ether by crashing, or being shot down.
A-10C. Alcohol based fuel testbed, Eglin AFB 2012.
The US Air Force (USAF) conducted the first test flight of a new alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) fuel powered A-10C Thunderbolt II aircraft on 28 June 2012, at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, US.
Powered by a mixture of the AJT and the standard Air Force JP-8 aviation fuel, the aircraft underwent a series of ground and flight tests, to validate the new fuel for fleet-wide use and as a replacement for the USAF's existing petroleum-derived fuel.
The ground tests involved monitoring the engine performance, while the flight tests included analysis of the aircraft's performance during controlled accelerations and operational manoeuvering.
A-10 test engineer, Joseph Rojas, said the A-10 serves as an excellent platform for testing the new fuel, as it features a segregated fuel system.
