Hi All,
Here's a new set of textures for Tango_Romeo's Avon Sabre. They represent an aircraft flown by 2OCU. I'll also include recoloring of the AIM-9 and plyon along with the drop tanks. I'll upload them after they are extensively tested DownUnder.
Thanks,
Bub

What a wonderful looking skin! Shocked

This plane is a treat to fly because of her very powerful engine.....so she's not just another Sabre. Wink

The RAAF operated the CA-27 from 1956 to 1971.[1]

In 1958–60, CAC Sabres completed numerous ground attack sorties against communist insurgents in Malaya, during the Malayan Emergency, with No. 3 Squadron RAAF and No. 77 Squadron RAAF. Following the Emergency, they remained in Malaysia at RAAF Butterworth. From August 1964 onwards these aircraft responded several times to incursions by Indonesian MiG-21 fighters. However, the Indonesian aircraft always turned back before crossing the international boundary.

In 1962, a detachment of eight CA-27s, which was later expanded and designated No. 79 Squadron RAAF (79 Sqn), was sent from Butterworth to RAAF Ubon, Ubon, Thailand, to assist the Thai and Laotian governments in actions against communist insurgents. Australia and Thailand were allies of South Vietnam and the United States during the Vietnam War, and 79 Sqn performed air defence for United States Air Force attack and bomber aircraft based at Ubon.[2] The squadron never engaged North Vietnamese aircraft or ground forces and was withdrawn in 1968.

Former RAAF CAC Sabres were operated by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (TUDM) between 1969 and 1972. Following the establishment of better relations with Indonesia, 23 CAC Sabres were donated to the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) between 1973 and 1975; five of these were former Malaysian aircraft.

Similar models of the F-86 in the Nationalist Chinese Air Force (ROCAF) flew combat many times against the MiGs of mainland China over the Taiwan Strait with significant results. The F-86s were armed with the first AIM-9 Sidewinders, and scored the first ever combat Air2Air Guided Missile kill against a mainland MiG. Huh

On 22 September 1958, the Sidewinder was used for the first time when 32 Sabres and over 100 MiGs dog fight with 10 MiGs being downed by the F-86s in a single day. Cheesy

An interesting sidelight to what TR has noted is that the RAAF also deployed 2 squadrons of Sabres to Darwin to deal with the potential threat from Indonesian bombers based on West Timor. This article makes for interesting reading:http://www.awm.gov.au/journal/j37/darwin.asp

Hi All,
Got a bit behind on things and have been delayed on uploading the CA-27 package. Hopefully things will have calmed down and I'll have it up in a few days.
Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads,
Bub
