F8s, A3s, A4s, Spads, (and Phantoms). Oh My!

Blasts from the past. Love '70s - '80s props and jets still had their place in the balance of power. Great overflights of NAS North Island. And the "Bear Box" mid pacific, always great for pics from the deck. 

Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.

Thanks Phrog - hoping some of these guys will show up in FS2020.  Had to clear off FSX to make disc space for it.

Bear Bombers being escorted by Saratoga's Phantoms Med. Cruise '69.

Bears were still quite active mid '80s cruses too.

Biil, do you kno the name of the file for that Oriskany model? Great for any Korea or Nan missions,

Couldn't find the Oriskany file but simMarket has a payware FSX/P3D 3 Essex class carrier package (Bonny Dick, Hancock, and Lexington) for 10 Euros.

simMarket: ESSEX-CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER FSX P3D

Nice pics, Bill!  Was the Phantom escorting a Soviet Bear bomber?  I remember several flyovers of Bear Bombers being escorted by Saratoga's Phantoms Med. Cruise '69.

Thanks Mr. Z.  Yes - but in today's world the F4 being tucked in so close to the Bear would probably be considered unsafe and unprofessional,
