    Is this it?

    FMLN attacked the Ilopango Air Force Base, destroying six of the Air Force's 14 UH-1H helicopters, five Ouragan aircraft and three C-47s
    Newly elected President Reagan, citing the attack on the Ilopango Base, also signed an Executive Order on 1 February authorizing $55 million in emergency military aid for El Salvador
    Truth Commissions: Reports: El Salvador
    Those were horrific times there.

          for Boco!

          Yep, the unit I have been stumped with is a unit representing the sappers of the FMLN...
          (The others I can mostly cover with work of others or my own mods). The sappers also took out the El Paraíso base in 1983, (and at least two more times during the war). Another special forces commando made world news when it managed to escape the Sheraton Hotel in 1989, though they were completely surrounded...

          Also, I am trying to figure out some of the other units. They used a bomber described as having four propellers, which makes it sound like a B-17 (B-29?), but in 1980 that does not make too much sense... or does it? Are C-47's also bombers? Do they have four propellers...

          Also, a strange looking propeller plane, kind of fat, with a strange looking structure (reminiscent of the P-47, but not nearly as big), said to be used as an observation plane, but sometimes it could carry a 300 or 500 pound bomb... I don't think it's american.

          Finally, a helicopter referred to as "avispita" (little wasp), armed with rockets... Does this sound like a Huey?

          Horrifying times, indeed...

            The twin engine C-47 gooney bird was a WWII vintage transport.


            The Dassault Ouragon fighter dates from 1949.

            The Brits made a Wasp ASW chopper in the 60's, but the land version was called the Scout.

            Dunno 'bout the prop plane. Corsair, Skyraider?
            El Salvador flew the last known Corsair mission by a foreign nation in 1971.

            What about the A37 Dragonfly? They flew it at one point.

              Ouragon didn't show in last post. I think the URL was too long for the input box, and I didn't notice. Maybe it shows now?

                On a new topic, I have been struggling with this Chaparral SAM for some time. Does anyone want to improve mine/make a new one?

                  I now believe it was the MD-500 Defender that they were referring to. Fits the description.

                  Nope, but Bingo! It was the Arava 201.



                  Anybody ever draw any of these?

                            These look great, especially the Su-24.

                                Mirage 2000 is my next concept. Egyptian, Greek, Taiwanese, Peruvian, Abu Dhabi & French colours & markings. I 'll have them done by the weekend, + the F35 JSF.
