jmel Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) How about a Modern SLUF Guide? I grew up with these here in Ohio with the Ohio Air National Guard, so I've always had a love affair with this jet. This will go to the printers very soon. It covers the A-7D/K & and A-7E/TA-7C, in USAF, ANG, US Navy, and Hellenic Air Force service. I'll post more pages as it gets a bit closer. I posted this one earlier, but in case you missed it, here it is again. This is the first title in this line, covering Kadena Air Base, Okinawa. This was by far the most amazing base I've ever been to, so it is a logical choice to be the centerpiece for the debut. Full coverage of the resident 18th Wing, plus the USMC, Navy, and other USAF assets on the base will be included. Lots of air-airs, action, and people shots. Should be neat. This will follow the Modern SLUF Guide in the queue, and should also be ready by Christmas or very soon after. Thanks for all the support, guys!

Great want to start a build on one of these but lack info and now I have to wait for a good reference book as my luck will have it Unfortunately, it will not. It will only cover those versions listed above due to space limitations. What time period will this be covering? Vietnam through right this second. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
