"The F-16 has benefited from a long-running program of improvements to minimize its RCS, under the name Have Glass. With several reports suggesting that a Have Glass V F-16 will, on average, have a 1.2m² radar cross section, compared with about 5m² for an ‘untreated’ F-16, straight off the line."

Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s
This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2
It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed.
Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit
Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years.
Included
Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.

The RCAF have finally decided in 2023 to bought 11 MQ-9B SkyGuardian armed drones.
5 units will be based with the 8th Wing
5 units will be based with the 16th Wing
1 unit will be based with the 19th Wing
The serail numbers, plane numbers, plane designation have not yet been officialised. I dig down the drone designation within the RCAF and the next available number as for today is the CU-177. So i decided to give it the CU-177 designation. I also decided to give the the serials number 177001 to 177011 to match the RCAF serail designations.
You will get the CU-177 skin in this package
Installation:
Copy the current pack objects/aircraft folder in your game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER aircraft folder.
Copy the current pack objects/decals folder in your game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER decals folder.
Copy the GK-MQ-9_Blk_30_ER.ini content to the game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER aircraft folder and change textureset number accordingly.
Copy the GK-MQ-9_Blk_30_ER_USERLIST.ini content to the game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER aircraft folder.
RCAF serials and plane numbers are real one's.

This is a fictional skin to complement the VAQ-562 skin that I released last month. In it you'll find all of the necessary files to use the plane. Simply install it properly and go fly. It can be found under VAQ-562 Line July 2023 in the drop-down menu
This is a variation of my personal skin, with my personal elements removed, and serves as a fictional squadron skin. Not much else can be said other than you can drop this in your EA-18G folder and go fly. It can be found under VAQ-562 CAG July 2023 in the drop-down menu.
The 65th Aggressor Squadron stationed at Naris Air Force Base operated F-15C fighter jets from 2005 to 2014, and used a variety of unique Schemes. This mod is one of the two types they have used. I will use it in the game Called "Blue" and "Tan" in
Made this for my personal campaign "Red Flag", based on the F-15C, to share with you all.
Special thanks to:
Fast Cargo provides a great collection of F-15 packs for the community
Viper63 added accurate machine number decals to his Aggressor pack
usage:
1. Put the "65AGRS_Blue" and "65AGRS_Tan" folders into your F-15C module;
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and start your F-15C, the game will automatically inject data.
