Modern Aircraft

[Sherman 18]

Well since we are doing a modern armor campaign, how about a modern aircraft campaign in the future? This would be open to any aircraft after WWII.

I have a CF-188 with ton's of goodies that I'm just itching to build!

If you need some info I think I saw one or two of those around here somewhere Mike.

I'm in. I would say though that to be honest I would limit it to Vietnam era and onwards as that conflict dictated a lot to what we see as modern combat aircraft today and the roles they perform. It was a turning point in their development. I wouldn't class a F-80 or even a F-86 as modern - would you? Just my 2p worth

 

[Firesmacker]

I was going to say something along similar lines to what Dave said. The mid-sixties and forward still gives around 40 years worth of aircraft to choose from.

I was going to ask to define "After" WWII, like the P80 was designed and flew during the war, clearly not modern. I dare say that the Century Series jets would not be modern. So maybe a clear definition of Modern is needed here.

But i'm in, I've always wanted to do like an A10 loaded for bear..

Jeff, can I mix-this-up-a-bit...

...how about NATO Aircraft ?? - not as broad as your original suggestion but covers almost all the same bases. From the aforementioned P-80 through to Mirages, Lightnings, Freedom fighters and on to the 'Teen series and ending with Rafales and Eurofighters....

...plenty to choose from :coolio

Does not bother me either way. I was trying to keep things simple, and get a bunch of people building.

Don't forget the Trash Haulers and even the Rotor Heads.

Cheers,

Thanks James! I have some great photos of cf-188s both during Operation Mobile and on the return home, but I sure would love any help you can offer once we get started!

 

[Skinny_Mike]

Did we reach the required number of votes for this one? Any idea when it would start?

Thanks
Mike

 

[SA Dave]

11 votes should be enough BUT there is a whole lot going on at the moment. Would June July start up not be good?

 

[moon puppy]

We'll surely put it on our list of future campaigns but I doubt we'll have anything firing up till we clear out some that are current.

In the meantime, take your pick from all the Campaigns we got going on now!

 

[Heavens Eagle]

I could go for this. Have the Trumpy A-10 I picked up a while back for a steal. Have all the goodies to go with it, just need a build time, though 6 months might be a bit tight.

 

[moon puppy]

And A 10...I would love to do one with a full CAS load out, cocked and ready to fly. Early F16A when the lines were still nice clean and trim, I can't believe what they have do to the Falcon with all those blister things off the side of it now. You wouldn't give a Falcon a carrier pigeon duties now would ya?

 

[ij001]

Now there's an idea for this campaign, thanks Bob.

A (late model) F-16 without all the ordnance and pods.... H*ll that would be just fine for me !!

I have always dreamed of doing an early F16 from Israel that was used on the atack on the reactor in Iraq Nice full load out, interesting camo and great piece of history
