Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Inspired by Duckie's repaints I did a repaint for the Alphasim F-86, which I purchased many years ago. Not Alphasim's best model, but easy to fly and good enough for me
A F-86 Sabre from 32 Day Fighter Squadron (Wolfhounds) over the Netherlands in 1955. 32 Fighter Squadron was stationed in the Netherlands at Soesterberg AB from 1954 until 1994.

Hi Lee,
In my post (above), I show Jarrad's KMRY scenery available for FSX/P3D users from Orbx, but unfortunately not for MSFS users (yet).
So those of us still running FSX/P3D are very fortunate to have access to it, and all the sharp detail eye candy it provides.
I think I should have elaborated on this more in my post, oops ! .....
Cheers, MZee ...

Thanks Steve,
When I arrived at Soesterberg AB in 1977 the Sabres were already long gone and 32 TFS was flying the F-4E. When I left in 1983 the F-15C and F-15D were already replacing the F-15As which were introduced from autumn 1978 onwards.
In November 1954 512th Fighter-Day-Squadron, which was stationed at RAF Manston moved to Soesterberg AB. Sumnmer 1955 the squadron was more or less re-named in 32 FDS, while the name 512th FDS moved back to England (Bentwaters) but only in name. From end summer 1956 the F-86 was replaced by the F-100C.
The name Wolfhounds was used by them as the original 32 Fighter Squadron was patrolling against German U-boats (Wolfpacks) in the Caribean during WWII.
Making reflective textures on this old model is a nightmare. The model has too much specular shine. Therefore I'm still not really pleased with how the textures show up and the rivets on the wings are far too visible.... The model was released already in 2007, when we obviously were still easier to satisfy.
Cheers,
Huub
Winter 1958 A Super Sabre from 32 TFS at Wheelus AB for shooting practice
Work in progress (also!)
Looks pretty good from here, especially considering its age. I think most of us were just as demanding back then it's just that the available technology limited our expectations. Learning the backgrounds and histories of the models we enjoy makes it even more enjoyable, kinda like a perpetual motion hobby!

Great shot of 'Daddy's Girl' @downwind !
Is this is the A2A 'Stang version you have ? I cannot find this restored, clean, airshow worthy repaint anywhere.
If it is the A2A bird, then cdfi's site is a 'must' to visit for many repaints : https://cdfi.neocities.org/cdfi_fltSimGraphics.htm

Hey, MZee! Thanks for the comment. I haven't posted screenshots in a very long time. This is the Warbirdsim Mustang Tales P-51D. The repaint is from John Terrell, found with many others at AVSIM, and probably here too.

Thanks for your effort to do this. It is awesome! Happy Holidays to you.
I am using the Calclassic PANC Ted Stevens Airport Alaska FS2004 version and it works perfectly in my FSX Acceleration, thanks Calclassic creators. I decided to see if I could add the SODE Snowplows that I have used at other of my airports that get a lot of snow. I used the FSX "Heavy Snow" weather to test it and it works really great. Merry Christmas or Happy Chanukah to you all too.
Great shot, @downwind, with that classic Beech to boot !
Love that desert landscape. Looks like it's near KPSP, maybe KBNG ?
I have Orbx KPSP (on sale now BTW), and love flying the Big Bear - Palm Springs - Monterey trip.
The route has everything from desert, to mountain, to ocean scenery included.
Cheers, MZee ...

Actually, you're close... it's KTNP at Twentynine Palms, CA; and would fit right into your route. TNP scenery is really great in FSX. There is a dust storm, circling predatory birds, lot of AI traffic, including road traffic passing the airport. About $20.@ Just Flight.
