...by request and cleaning out the closet!

VA-212 Rampant Raiders. I know, it's been done (quit well too) but this one's just a bit different and it was a request.
Anyway, some of you may like it so it'll be uploaded in about an hour or so from now.

Very nice! Never knew they carried NF tailcodes.......very cool. By the way....did you create a paint kit for the A-4? Looks like its weathered differently.

Notice of SNAFU!

I zipped the wrong texture file into the VA-212_No2 folders. If you downloaded this file "FSX_Virtavia_A-4F_VA-212_No2.zip" before 16:00 US Eastern Standard Time you got a bad file. It has since been corrected so please re-download the file for the correction if you're still interested.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Thanks to you both, delta_lima & gray eagle, for requesting these VA-212 Scooters. The A-4 in these markings is a right handsome fellow.

Ah, yes! The smell of xylol, cyanoacrylate, and Floquil sting the nostrils almost as much as hot Jet-A fumes while the vibrations of an idling JT-9D jar you to the bone as you're standing under it on the ramp loading last minute bags on the last B-727 to LGA of the night! Memories of another time and place. :mixed-smiley-010:

I worked on the ATL ramp in the summer of 79 for Delta. Loaded plenty of DC-8's, DC-9's, B727's and (new!) L1011-500's! Crew of 4 could turn a DC8-61 in 20 minutes. Was 104 a lot of days that summer...freakin so hot at the old ATL Hartsfield the asphalt paved parts of the tarmac would get soft. Got to work on some B707's from BCal that summer too. Delta was their gate agent. That was the last summer of the old Hartsfield. Im glad I had that experience.

To this day, I hate the USPS for the overweight mail bags and flights from Detroit...loaded with those stupid little Jet Magazines that were a pain to unload.

Such a small world! We may have crossed paths more than once. I worked Eastern's ramp 78-79 then made the jump to management. ORD, JFK, and ORF were my USPS nightmares, specially ORF with all that USN "green" mail! Actually worked (all hands on deck) the night of the move to the new terminal.

No worries. I've done that myself. In fact did it twice with the same IIIB scheme before all was sorted.
Writing readme files, packaging, and uploading late at night is taxing on the eyes and brain.

Thanks for all the repaints.
