After a far few years away from flight sims and a year away from pc gaming in general I thought i'd dip my toe back into the water.

Any trip in the thud in SF2 is a trip evading death. No easy day in that bird, fast as a scalded cat on the deck, but it seems to be a SAM and MiG magnet.

Its always been an aircraft that I've never knew much about until I recently read when thunder rolls. Since then i've been itching to give it a whirl.

Looks like you're in Rolling Thunder in 1966 with that paint scheme. Wait until SAMs and MiG-21s start to show up in numbers. Linebacker I and II are no joke.

Well, all these recent SF2 Vietnam screenshots have influenced me to break out my credit card banghead LOL.

It was just a quick mission in 66, I haven't got my HOTAS setup yet because I'm waiting for my stands to be painted at work but soon I'll be all set.
