A couple days back I posted some screen shots of a free Add on Aircraft (A-7C/E) for Wings Over Vietnam. Like I mentioned, they have some real high quality stuff out there. There is also a team that creates stuff for MSFS and the Strike Fighters Series. They have some Payware stuff, and I heard it was getting good reviews.
But I was kind of leery of purchasing a payware model for Wings over Vietnam. I have never bought any third party payware add-on aircraft. I thought to myself, I know people are paying for payware aircraft for MSFS, but the SF series too?
So I went and checked out Razbam's website and was checking out the A-6 Intruder model he has. For 16 Dollars you can own three different variants of the A-6, the A, B and E-Tram model. I was skeptical, because the game contains an A-6A already that is nicely modeled, And there are freeware models of every A-6 variant made for the SF series. But the screen shots, reviews and some of the known issues with the game and freeware models had me interested. So on a whim, I purchased it.
When I first took it for a spin I nearly went deaf when the P&W J52s spooled up. It kind of gave me a headache at first but It has since grown on me. I was so psyched to see one of the many skins was an A-6E Tram of VA-85 Black Falcons. My dad served aboard the USS America with VA-85 during GW1. I have personally touched the real aircraft the skin portrays when I was child visiting the Ship and NAS Oceana with my father.

Here we are flashbacked to 1972 my A-6A from VA-196 Main Battery strikes another "suspected" truck park.
The natives are restless!
Look worm, another Two Tons.
Well. Enough fun for one night, better head home.
Other than a few minor issues (One that can be fixed by one's self) the model is superb. A great model, I'm glad I purchased.
