Love that Area51 Cobra. Pain in the ass to work on (the real thing) but beautiful in flight

Dave,
If you want a straight deck Lady Lex, look no further then the native one from the Yanco Coral Sea packages.

If you are wanting CV-16 the Blue Ghost (Essex class) straight deck, look for lazarus's update of Collin's cfs2 Essex
class (USS_CV-12_Hornet_1943-44_FSX) here in the library.

Let me know when you have it and I'll send you some add on paints for this package that I've been working on. It will
add USS Essex, Yorktown, Intrepid, Hornet, Lexington, Bunker Hill and Wasp. As of now they all wear the measure 32
scheme, but I am working on Lexington to make her look like she did when she earned the title "Blue Ghost".

By the time Willy was on Lex she was a very updated (angle deck) Essex class, and as of now there isn't one for FSX.

The Lexington in Dave's pic was the original aircraft carrier Lexington (CV-2) After it was lost at Coral Sea, they named a new Essex class that was being built (CV-16) in her honor. CV-16 served admirably in the Pacific war and was reported sunk by the Japanese numerous time. She had a unique blue camo pattern. Between being constantly "sunk" and the blue color, she earned the nickname "Blue Ghost". She was laid up in mothballs shortly after WW2 and in the early 50s began conversion to an angle deck with a new island structure.

I was on the Lex from 1976 to 1978 and of all the ships I crewed on, she was always my favorite ship. The C-1A I'm working on now was the Lex's COD aircraft from 1959 to 1976 when it was retired after attaining it's 15,000 hour lifetime and donated to the Naval Aviation Museum. But I did manage to get a ride ashore on it before it was retired. The paint scheme for it I'm doing is it's final Bicentennial scheme which it still has at the museum and the one it had when I got that ride.

The Lex had two more C-1As after 6754 was retired. I've got good pics of both of them and figure I'll do them too as their paint isn't as involved as 6754's.

Here is Bunker Hill as she sits as of now.

I would love to see AVT-16 modeled.

Oh yes! I'm gonna have to get this carrier ops thing figured out in FSX. Loved doing 'em in FS9 even if the carriers were static.

Especially with older carriers. I love those old straight decks. I always kind of figured that carrier development went downhill with the Forrestal class

When last seen, CV-16 was located at Corpus Christi, Texas. That was in 2002 - as far as I know, she's still there. She was original supposed to be USS Cabot but the name was changed to Lexington after CV-2 was lost, so said a tour guide when I was there.

The Blue Ghost is still docked and moored, as a museum in Corpus Christi.
