FS2004 GAF F-4F '37+79' Of JG 71 1982 Scheme. Repaint for Alphasim's F-4F Phantom II, now released as freeware, depicting '37+79' of Jagdgeschwader (fighter wing) 71 "Richthofen" in its 1982 "Norm 72" camo scheme. In 1973, the Luftwaffe purchased a total of 175 of the lightened and simplified F-4F which was upgraded under the "ICE" (Improved Combat Efficiency) program. The 110 ICE-upgraded F-4Fs entered service in 1992, and are expected to remain in service until 2012. All the remaining Luftwaffes Phantoms are now based at Wittmund with JG 71. This repaint was done utilizing the basic paint kit provided by Alphasim/Virtavia, massively improved by Steve Bryant under assistance by Gus Robatto. By Markus Hellwig.
