Looks like a Skyraider (introduced in 1945), a breed quite active in Korea and Vietnam, but I've not the time to search this one's habitat. :P

Grumman AF-2S & AF-2W Guardian. http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/hist-ac/af-2s.pdf

I recall one of our forum members posting shots of one under restoration.*

*PS. Found it. http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1276657099

H, pretty close....I like to think of these as the Skyraider's ugly siblings.

Pepe has posted the Grumman AF-2 pack and it is available for download now.   It consists of the AF-2S, AF-2W and an AI version as well.  :D

All look considerably better than the shots above, which were taken of WIPs.  ;)

Well, they may not be masterpieces, but they are certainly close to a 1000% upgrade over the FS9 originals.  I had a CFS2 conversion of the S model.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
