This is
the first of many planned sheets from WolfPak (Mark Bilas).
Rather than featuring specific types, WolfPak's
approach is to feature different aircraft on each
sheet, so there is plenty of variety! This sheet covers 4 airframes, as
follows:-
- KC-135R 23543 assigned to the 459th ARW,
Andrews AFB, Virginia as part of the 22nd AF,
Air Reserve Command, in the AMC Grey scheme;
- MC-130E with markings for 64-0555, 64-0523,
63-7785 or 64-0572. A mixture of airframes with
and without the Fulton gear, and covering both
the 7th SOS, 90th SOS, 1st SOS and 8th SOS, with
a mixture of the black/tan/light grey and
black/tan/black schemes;
- T-28D 49-1561 assigned to the 606th SOS of
the 56th SOW based at Nahkon Phanom, in
the FS36102/FS36092/FS36118/FS37038 scheme;
- A-10A 79-981 of the 103rd FS, 111th FW of
the Pennsylvanian ANG, being one of the first
aircraft to carry the Litening target pod,
painted in the standard two tone Compass Ghost
Grey scheme;
- F-4D 66-738 of the 497th TFS, 8th TFW based
at Ubon AFB, Thailand during 1972. It was
modified under Pave Phantom and fitted with
LORAN D as well has being configured for the
AVQ-11 Pave Sword laser tracker pod. This
aircraft was also one of the few to be painted
in SEA but with black undersides.
For each airframe, WolfPak include a side view
with details of where individual markings are
placed, copies of the relevant page of TO 1-1-4, and
additional photographs where relevant. These are
black and white photocopies, with the side views in
colour.
Additionally, for each airframe, WolfPak provide
a history of the aircraft with additional details of
markings and specific colours (with FS595a
references). Details of weapons loadouts are
also provided.
All in all, very useful!
