MCAS Cherry Point Harriers

Remove VMA-231 as the unit sundowns operations with the AV-8B. Squadron will return as VMFA-231 in F-35Bs in the future.


One legend transitions to an new legend in the making.

If anyone in MAIW is interested in keeping MCAS Cherry Point alive and modern, I am ...

John,
I'm glad to hear this update that you have made contact with Steve. I wish him the best during this time.

I'm still working on several paint projects, but keep getting off track.

USN F-35Cs USMC F-35B and C F/A-18E and F and for my retro project - A-7 Corsair IIs and T-37s and T-38 all-white. I definitely need to stick to a project plan.

I'm making good progress on the T-37. This again will be all white and will only have a few layers for modifying text on the aircraft.
I will consider adding a paint layer for tail art such as checkerboards for some Randolph aircraft.
I'm currently resizing the serial numbers on the tail. Here's a ...

Hello Mike,
I might have something for you by end of the week. It will only be the full white paint with editable registration numbers for 1970s/80s. I first need to test it in my sim and also be sure that I can credit the original painter for the baseline files.

Hello All,

First view in P3Dv5 and tail graphics will need to be rescaled a little and WH tail codes bumped up from the bottom of the tails a bit before I work on the line aircraft.

I'd like to share a look into work in-progress repaint for John Young F-35s.
I just need to shadow the side numbers "01"

Additionally, I will be following this one with low-visibility markings for the reminder of the squadron.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in the Super Hornets.
I have uploaded a small package with VFA-25, VFA-113, VFA-151, and VFA-192
I regret that it has been so long since I planned and shared photos. Users will need to create their own traffic. Maybe swap the F/A-18C traffic? Please let me know if ...

Sample work shows a US Navy HC-16 from the 1980s timeframe.

First try shows where I need to make adjustments.

I've started a paintkit and gathering aircraft registrations for multiple units. It's going to be big undertaking with my schedule at hand.
I'm hoping to start of with a few US Marine CH-46s - green, grey and camo green/grey/black as well as US Navy - blue and grey across multiple years of service ...

I am glad to see interest in the CH-46 for AI traffic. I recall using non-AI CH-46s in FSX many years ago. It made for exciting traffic at MCAS Miramar, Camp Pendleton and MCAS New River. I also had scattered Navy CH-46s at various locations.

I need to finish texturing the nose and create decals for U.S. Navy and U.S. Marines, BuNos, side numbers, etc.

Thank you again John for producing the UH-1s. I thought I would share a screenshot with the community for my early work on the USN, USMC Search and Rescue UH-1N we discussed. I cannot make any promises of upload timeframe, but the repaints won't linger and fall of the table like my Super Hornets.

I’ve completed a trawl of the scenery options for the Huey’s. If anyone can shed any further light, particularly with the location of the parking for the UH-1N’s at Fairchild AFB, that would be useful.

I’m not proposing to create any scenery or flight plans for the retro UH-1D's and H's. This is ...

Stunning!

Thank you again John for the time and effort put into building Hueys.
This might be old news for those who have been around AI traffic communities, but Scramble.nl has quite a repository to search for current and past aircraft registration and owner/operator data.

John,
Things are looking great for your Huey. I'm glad you are also discussing UH-1N.

Many serial numbers can be found on helis.com

Hello John, I send my condolences for your loss of Muffin. My favorite cat is also named Muffin and I know he meant a lot to you.
Thank you so much for your design efforts and dedication to the community.

I might be able to paint a few USAF TH-1H for 23rd Flying Training Squadron if you provide a ...

Available?

I will have to get back to you. I am presently trying to create a retro environment on my P3Dv5 and not actively loading F-35s.
