Simviation Forums

I have to agree with Doug (Flying Trucker) that there are so many wonderful additions to MSFS available for free from so many wonderful people. What a great gift to everyone. Case in point: AlphaSim made a great model of USS Enterprise (CVN-65, not NCC-1701

Simply awesome...excellent and well done...

Very nice. What Phantom is that????

Thanks, Doug. I do appreciate it.

This is a lot of AlphaSim/Virtavia stuff.
AlphaSim: Enterprise, F-4 Phantom (pack 1), A-3 Skywarrior, RA-5C Vigilante
Kazunori Ito: A-4 Skyhawk, A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II
There's an E-2 Hawkeye and a C-1 Trader on board as well, though I don't think they showed up in any of those pics, and I don't remember who did them other than that they are adapted from FS2002.

If I were going to do it really, really right, I'd make sure all the aircraft were from the same Air Wing, but that's a lotta repainting.

Those are some of the best shots I have ever seen!

Where did you get that VF-151 Phantom paint?

It was done by Gus Robatto, who has done a number of fine, fine paints for the F-4, including VF-151 and VF-161. (See my "Flying Rocks" post http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1312957088) I've only seen them on Avsim, though they may be available other places. My dad served on Midway in the 70's (not as an aviator), so these two squadrons and the Phantom led to my first serious case of childhood airplane lust.

When in the 70s?  I was a RIO with 151 from March of '78 to November '80.

Very cool......great shots 8-) 8-)
