This is the currrent scheme of the newly acquired Super Hornets by the Royal Australian Air Force. Numbered A44-200 through 224.
Simply copy the folders and place them in the appropriate directories and go fly, for SF2 series only as it has a custom drop tank texture.
And thanks to Wrench for pointing me in the right direction for the numbers...
And thanks to Riley64 for reference photos of the current birds.

Original text by David F. Brown:
Don't know if the Swordsmen have finalized a 100th Anniversary of US Naval Aviation paint scheme. I've attached a scheme designed by Author/Historian David F. Brown and Aviation Artist/Illustrator Geoff Martin.
Hopefully, at least to the Swordsmen, this scheme will need no explanation. But for those who are not familiar with VF-32 operations during the Koren War, this scheme is a mix of markings worn by F4U-4 Corsairs
flown by Ens Jesse Leroy Brown, the Navy's first black Naval Aviator and Lt(jg) Thomas Hudner. Lt Hudner was awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor when he attempted to rescue Ens Brown after he was shot down
over North Korea. Unfortunately, Lt Brown died from injuries sustained in his forced landing. I cannot think of a more fitting tribute to these former Swordsmen.
This scheme was found on the VFA-32 Swordsman Facebook page, and after getting halfway through with it, I found out it wasn't accepted. However, I thought it was pretty cool so I finished it, with the knowledge of
David F. Brown. All original work is form him and Geoff Martin from Afterburner Decals, though none were used.

Due to the specialised tanks, it is only designed for Strike Fighters 2 only.
Drop in the FA-18F directory and fly.
This represents the CAG Bird in 2006 when VF-31 returned back to the states before transitioning to the Super Hornet.
This is an old redo from the old Tomcat to the new Mirage Factory F-14B. NOTE Due to the mapping that this cannot be used on the older
Tomcat models. IF you are looking for that check the skin downloads section as it's still there.
With thanks to Vampyre for his reference photos. Templates are from The Mirage Factory and due to mapping constraints I tried to get it as clean as possible, sorry for any errors.

From a reference from Afterburner Decals this is an EA-18G assigned to VX-9 "Vampires". Other than the drop tank texture the skin can be used for SF1 as well.
Drop in the EA-18G folder and go fly.

This skin represents nose number "540" while conducting combat operations over Libya for Operation Odyssey Dawn/Unified Protector where the squadron was hastily deployed from supporting OIF to OOD/UP.
