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.

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

BUT

Hagar gets the brass ring! Wink

They are indeed the AF-2S and AF-2W, the Grumman Guardians, the largest single-engine planes ever to operate off a US carrrier.....and one of those airplanes the Navy never could figure out what to do with. Grin

They're coming to a download site near you soon....I did not want to do it...but they're holding my dog hostage.

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. Cheesy

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

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
