FA-18F VFA-103 Jolly Rogers

VICTORY IS AT HAND!!

This is a reworked VFA-103 Jolly Rogers skin set. This skin is a merging enhancement, and expansion of the VFA-103 skin using SidDoggs cleaner skins combined with the original Super Hornet release skin (some decals retained) and with new decals by me.

I'd like to thank the following

-TK and Third Wire for creating a wonderfully open sim.

-The CombatAce Staff for being the anchor for this community

-InSky for their F/A-18F model, skins and decals

-Siddogg for letting me use his 'cleaner' skins as a basis for my work

* VFA-103 The Jolly Rogers: Into the future with Super Bugs

In December 2004 Carrier Air Wing 17 finished it's deployment with USS John F Kennedy and the F-14B Tomcats of VF-103 were sent to the bone yard at Davis Monthon AFB. This was a sad time for anyone who has a heart for the Tomcat. However, as has happened many times before in Naval Aviation history, including Jolly Roger history (F4U Corsair, F6F Hellcat, F-9F Panther, F-8 Crusader, and F-4 Phantom to name a few) reality weighs anchor and moves on.

VF-103 was redesignated VFA-103 and began training for and recieving the F/A-18F Super Hornet. In 2005 VFA-103 left Carrier Air Wing 17 (AA) and joined VFA-143 (Pukin) Dogs F/A-18E AG 1xx, VFA-83 Rampagers F/A-18C AG 3xx, and VFA-131 Wildcats F/A-18C AG 4xx in Carrier Air Wing 7. VFA-103 took on the AG code and returned to the 2xx modex numbers. In October 2005 CVW-7 began workups for deployment, and in October 2006 headed for the CENTCOM AOR aboard USS Dwight D Eisenhower. for an 8 month deployment. VFA-103 and CVW-7 had a very sucessful deployment.

* Included are the Carrier Air Wing 17 (AA tailcode) hi-viz and Lo-Viz colors,as well as the Carrier Air Wing 7 (AG tailcode) hi-viz and lo-viz colors.

**AT THE VERY LEAST install (if you havn't already) the numbers set 'USN-NUM_ONE'(for AA tailcode) and 'USN-NUM_TWO' (for AG tailcode) from my modex pack OR YOU WILL NOT have numbers at all on the 'AA' jets or the hi-viz 'AG' jets, and only the tail numbers will show on the lo-viz 'AG' jets.
