Another excellent release from WolfPak.  Mark Bilas continues to seek out interesting subjects for his sheets...

This sheet covers 4 airframes, as follows:-

  • F-4D 60-267 "OY" of the 555th TFS, 8th FTW at Ubon RTAFB, Thailand during September 1972, in standard SEA scheme.  This aircraft was flown by Captain John Madden when he scored his first 2 MiG kills on September 9th, 1972;
  • F-15A 73-091 "LA" of the 555th TFS, 58th TFTW at Luke AFB, Arizona during 1974.  This aircraft is in the original 2 tone Air Superiority Blue scheme;
  • F-15A 73-100 "LA" of the 555th TFTS, 58th TFTW at Luke AFB, Arizona during 1975.  This aircraft is in the revised Compass Ghost Grey scheme;
  • F-102A 55-436 "PK" of the 509th FIS, 405th FW at Udorn RTAFB, Thailand during 1969  This airframe is one of the late production batch F-102A's and was fitted with the infrared detector (IRST) and the later CASE XX wings.

For each airframe, WolfPak include a side view with details of where individual markings are placed, copies of the relevant page of TO 1-1-4, and additional photographs where relevant. These are black and white photocopies, with the side views in colour.

Additionally, for each airframe, WolfPak provide a history of the aircraft with additional details of markings and specific colours (with FS595a references).  Details of weapons loadouts are also provided.

Please note - the photographs do not show the white tailcodes very well!

All in all, very useful!
