Halestorm

Yes, that's spelled correctly. A big thanks to Shane for taking my request and doing the grunt work on this one by adding the famous noseart and changing the registration on an existing RAAF repaint for the freeware Alphasim Meteor.

This livery represents a Korean War era Meteor (called "Halestorm") operated by RAAF 77 Squadron and flown by Sgt. George Hale. This specific aircraft is a MiG killer! (2 MiG-15 kills)

Here is more info and images:

A small paragraph on RAAF service and "Halestorm" here near the middle of the page in the section about the F.8 version:

Again a big thanks to Shane for bringing this famous Meteor into the FS world. (Note to Shane: I touched up the lettering a little so it was more readable, if you want the new copy, let me know.)
I don't know if this repaint can be made publicly available since it would depend on Shane's wishes and the permission of the author of the basic silver livery.

Thanks for looking.

Sadly, this Alphasim model won't show up in FSX.

[color=#000000]As I was clicking on the link and waiting for the page to load, I was wondering how the heck you got hail in FS.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Shane, check your yahoo mail in a little bit, Lunatic, check your PMs. (FS2004 only)
;)

Thanks for your compliments on the shot. Yes it uses those FS2004 HD Cloud and environment textures available here at SimV.
