FSX USAF F-16 613FS 86-0343

This repaint package delivers faithfully reproduced US Air Force markings for the Aerosoft F-16 Fighting Falcon in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, featuring tail 86?0343 from the 613th Tactical Fighter Squadron. Stationed at Torrejon Air Base (LETO) in Madrid, this specific aircraft has long served as a versatile single-engine jet, recognized for its powerful afterburning turbofan and aerodynamic design. Antonio Diaz, the creator, has meticulously developed these textures to honor the real-world livery and ensure they blend seamlessly with the payware Aerosoft model.

Distinctive Tail Number and Squadron Heritage

The featured tail number, 86-0343, hails from the 613th TFS, a squadron known for its operational readiness and tactical proficiency. This F-16 variant showcases a blend of agility and potent thrust suitable for interdiction missions and air defense roles. The repaint highlights markings across the fuselage and vertical stabilizer to replicate the real scheme seen on aircraft based at Torrejon AB.

Key Features of the Repaint

• Authentic Color Palette: Maintains accurate tones and markings for the 613th TFS specifications.
• High-Resolution Textures: Preserves clarity across the fuselage, wings, and stabilizers.
