I worked these for eight years and I miss it like crazy. That one is either form yellow section from RAF Upper Heyford or Mt. Home AFB. That's cool Jack. I forget which paint I flew for that photo. That orbx scenery is somewhere near Ft Worth in FSX. My maternal grandfather and uncle both worked at Convair then GD Ft. Worth. My grandfather was at the plant when they rolled out the first one and my uncle worked drafting re-wiring for them in the early-mid Eighties, all on the civilian side. 6 hours ago, flyingleaf said: Great shots. Awesome bird. Thanks, they were fun to collect and fly. 3 of em were freeware and while I used my payware versions I there are inexpensive versions of the others.

I remember working the jets after the re-wiring. I think he most likely re-wired the jets to become EF-111A's. The Raven jammer jets, worked them for several years.

I think so because the only work done at that place was to strip down the F-111A models and turn 'em into Ravens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
