Aggressor MiG-21s
Just uploaded to AVSIM repaints of the MiG-21s that the USAF flew during the 1980s as part of the Aggressor program.
Fourteen repaints and a traffic file.

Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
Yes, I see them yesterday. I've installed them today. Great package.
I hope the same with the MiG-23

Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
A couple of bits of info for those that like this sort of thing.
The sqn reportedly had 14x MiG-21F-13s where 1 came from Israel and 13 came from Indonesia.
In 1987 the USAF bought 12x Chengdu F-7s (Chinese built MiG-21F-13s) from China to replace the original aircraft.
The original MiGs were designated YF-110B ( yes, the original YF-110A was the Phantom prototype) whilst the Chengdu versions were YF-110Cs.
I haven't found the exact version of the F-7 bought yet but one site mentions F-7Bs.
If you fancy trawling it is quite interesting to see what you can find out about what the unit operated apart from those.
Take into account though that there is no officially released info about the sqn or its aircraft so don't take everything as gospel.

Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
It is funny how you post something and then you get some more info.
Apparently the Chengdu ones might have been F-7IIs. That model was renamed from J-7B so possibly might account for some of the uncertainty.
The easy way to tell the difference between the models is that the original Russian built models had the one-piece forward opening canopy and the Chinese production ones had a two-piece traditional opening canopy.
Some interesting pics of them on the ground and in the air can be found here https://www.flickriver.com/photos/tags/ ... teresting/

Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
FYI
I uploaded some MiG-23 repaints for the USAF Aggressors and updates of the MiG-21s using the J-7II (F-7B) model, thanks Firebird.
Should be in the download hangar soon.

Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
I am having trouble finding any Tonopah scenery FS9 or FSX that has enough parking slots for the new packages. Could somebody point me in the direction of some scenery to accommodate these new aircraft.

Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
I think there is a scenery for Tonopah in the MAIW Nellis pack.
You can easily add some parking slots with the use of ADE9.

USAF also use MiG-29 in the past (There are a lot of variants made by MKAI, recently released) and There are at least 2 Su-27 in US, flying against F-16.
Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
Also a MiG-25, at one time. If there are pics then somebody may do them otherwise I can't see them being done.

Re: Aggressor MiG-21s
In addition of MiG-21 aggressor, it coul be cool to have the F-5 used in test and evaluation in the USSR. If USA have MiG-21, MiG-23 and later MiG-29, USSR have this F-5 from South Vietnam.
