Military AI Works

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.

Top work as always, looking forward to seeing what's coming next

Yes, I see them yesterday. I've installed them today. Great package.

I hope the same with the MiG-23

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.

Quite a good read...

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/

YF-110B Soviet MiG-21F-13
YF-110C Chinese Chengdu J-7B (MiG-21F-13 variant)
YF-110D Soviet MiG-21MF
YF-113B Soviet MiG-23BN
YF-113E Soviet MiG-23MS NATO:"Flogger-E"
YF-114C Soviet MiG-17F
YF-114D Soviet MiG-17PF

The Wikipedia's page is interesting : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4477th_Te ... n_Squadron

The book is a great read and nice find on the pics.

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.

No problem, and thanks for the schemes.

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.

Regards Paul Day.

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.

Regards

Thanks a lot for these repaints


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.

Also a MiG-25, at one time. If there are pics then somebody may do them otherwise I can't see them being done.

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.

The F-5 is an E version, with serial 73-00807

Here is a video of this Soviet F-5E :
