Ive been to Mountain Home AFB. Small town with charm, but no mountains to speak of, just "little" hills.

My very first flight sim for the PC was "Janes F-15". In the sim, you went through an extensive training program until you became familiar with all the controls on the panel, as well as some flight time in the F-15E before going on to flying combat sortees. One of the F-15E aircraft represented in that sim was from the 366th 'Bold Tigers' from Mountain Home, Idaho. That's the one I chose to fly, and prompted me to aquire the 1/32 scale die cast model of nearly the identical plane, sitting atop my desk in my "office" at home. After all these years, to see the IRIS F-15E get the Tiger Meet version brings back memories of those 'Janes' Flight Sims. I still have them all: F-15, F-18, Janes USAF, and World War II Fighters.
Good stuff back in those days....

Lovely paint, Matt.
Too right...Originally Posted by Blackbird686
I never flew the Tigermeet F-15, was too busy ducking vicious SA13 spikes in Iraq.
Janes F-15 surely was the most complete simulator, the graphics wouldn't cut it nowadays, but what immersion!
I remember going right through the night, flying nap of the earth with the radar altimeter set at a ghostly green 50 ft.
At the last moment popping up, painting the target, bringing the wingmen in from another angle, and dealing death and destruction to those WMD installations.
I lost weight, I think, and became a devotee of the Mudhen.
just starboard fin remains now then i'll be uploading it, should be done by 0400GMT (Fingers Crossed!)....

yup it's the first F-15E i have converted to run on Ouzo... what you don't use you can always drink... and share with groundcrew (if you like your groundcrew)....

Naah!yup it's the first F-15E i have converted to run on Ouzo... what you don't use you can always drink... and share with groundcrew (if you like your groundcrew)....
Nothing like my groundcrew - they're all normal, logical, dedicated tea-totallers.
If you ever come accross groundcrew who enjoy a tipple - run (or fly!) for yer life!!!

next paint will take a bit longer as i'll be re-labelling the VC to convert it to the proposed F-15H (H for Hellenic), the Strike Eagle was offered to Greece but was never followed up, Greece instead opting to upgrade their current fleet and get a few more Vipers.....
my Groundcrew are a motley bunch... they enjoy the Beach, beer, and various other things.... so the Ouzo is safe, the Beer on the other hand.....

Very nice, Tiger! Thank you.just uploading the scheme now....
- H52
A tad high and a tad hot is better than a tad low and a tad slow - H52
Thank You Matt for this beautiful repaint!
The only minor issue I had was your included readme.txt.
The texture line in the cfg should read 'texture=366FW' (not 391FS).
Beers on me!
Cheers, Stuart
