FSX Minnesota ANG Convair F-102A

This add-on provides an exciting high-fidelity repaint representing a Minnesota Air National Guard aircraft from 1968. Its textures are designed for use with the payware Razbam Convair F-102A in Microsoft Flight Simulator X and accurately depict the markings of the 179th FIS, 148th FIG, based at Duluth International Airport. Repaint by Jens-Ole Kjolberg.

Historical Background on the F-102A and Minnesota ANG

The Convair F-102A, known as the “Delta Dagger,” was part of the United States Air Force’s historic Century Series of supersonic interceptors. It featured a sleek delta wing designed for high-altitude performance. In 1968, the 179th Fighter Interceptor Squadron—part of the 148th Fighter Interceptor Group—operated these airframes under the Minnesota Air National Guard at Duluth IAP, where they maintained alert status to protect U.S. airspace. These distinctive markings reflect the unit’s commitment and heritage during that era.

Features of This Repaint

In this repaint, the aircraft sports the hallmark color patterns and squadron insignia used by the 179th FIS. Specific tail markings, identification numbers, and insignia detailing reflect the unique registration "O-61323" from that period. These details allow flight simulation enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the historical operations of the Minnesota-based interceptor unit.

Important Note on Payware Model

This modification does not include the core payware Razbam Convair F-102A package. Owners must have the original Razbam model installed in their simulator folder to utilize these textures effectively.

Texture Installation Guide

• Unpack the texture BMP files from this ZIP archive into the Razbam Convair F-102 installation folder. Ensure the folder path setting remains active so two new texture folders appear correctly.
• Add a corresponding [fltsim.x] entry to the aircraft.cfg file. Replace “x” with the next sequential number, avoiding any gaps or duplicates.
• Save the changes, then load the simulator to find the newly added Minnesota ANG livery in your aircraft selection menu.
