We drop our time machine out of warp and find ourselves in the present, in Part Three:



Here is the F-15E Strike Eagle for Strike Fighters. Paco, as usual, has made an excellent addition to Strike Fighters! This machine is from the 90th Fighter Squadron, "Pair-O-Dice", based at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska.



In addition to being an excellent 3D modeller, Paco is also a first rate skinner. This machine is in the "European" camo scheme of the early Mudhens. I took this screenshot over water as this bird is IMPOSSIBLE to see when flying over the EAW Autumn Terrain!



This machine features 9/11 nose art, in this case "Packin Heat", of the 335th Fighter Squadron, "Chiefs", based at Seymour-Johnson AFB, North Carolina.



This machine also features 9/11 nose art, in this case "Uncle Sam", of the 391st Fighter Squadron, "Bold Tigers", based at Mountain-Home AFB, Idaho.



This machine represents the F-15I, known as the RA'AM, or Thunder, in Israel. The Thunder flies with 69 Squadron, "Hammer Squadron", based at Hatzerim AFB.

The F-15E/I also comes with LANTIRN pods, although there just for show, SF doesn't model target designation, just yet ;\)

So you see how Strike Fighters can take you from the 40's to the present day.

Thanks to the genius of TK and the dedication of Paco, Russo, and Pasko!

Cheers

Gramps \:D \:D

when you say that....do you mean you're on a way to model or activate some guidance system?

Looking good Gramps! I was real supprised by Paco's Eagle skin. He supprised me in that I didn't know he skinned t all. He did a great job.

I think what Gramps means, and yes, I am tring to read minds here - is that maybe one day with SP3 or another patch LANTIRN and other targeting pods might have function instead of merely all for "show."

Great work as usual Gramps!!! Looks like you have covered just about all the F-15E schemes. Nothing else for us other skinners to do but sit back and admire your work!!!

Cheers!!!

I'll disturb some with my reaction.

1. Drool.
2. Urinate on self.
3. Pass out.

Wonderful work you guys...
Though I have a strong dislike of both Israeli and Greek (my own country's) colors schemes, I might get this Israeli F-15 to fly it--it looks great...

Many thanks

In 14 fun-filled years loading weapons in the USAF, there are only
2 colors I ever loaded. Green with yellow or blue stripe, or all
blue for inert. The OD green is all they get.

Fuel tanks have been known to be much more creative!

Sorry...

Common reaction when I see something really schweet. Can't help myself, I'm an aviphiliac...

Why does my chair smell like pee?
