Was he qualifying for the Superhornet?

I thought he was on attachment to the CIA's Impossible Mission Force under the cover name 'Ethan Hunt'

Looks great! Let me know which decal sheet you want and I'll get it. You can PM me your delivery address.

Yes, and they are great skins 😀. I was talking about line birds, not special full colour schemes. If you did want to take on the missing squadrons and you need to me to spring for some decals to help just let me know.

Nice video! I did a quick audit of the available skins, and it looks like we would need line skins for VMFA (AW)-224, 225 and 332 to complete the USMC F/A-18D fleet.

The SEALs are heading back to Gondar with the freed aid workers.. They have also managed to recover a good proportion of the supplies from the trucks not damaged in the firefight, as well as all three modules of the portable medical clinic.. At Gondar they are launching F/A-18Ds almost as fast as they can be armed and pre-flighted.. Meanwhile, the blocking force is grimly holding on and making the enemy pay a high price for every inch they advance down the slope.. The appearance of the 3 Sudanese Q-5 Fantans is an unwelcome surprise and even though they only get one pass the Marines take some casualties.. More importantly, the Hornets are forced to switch to air-to-air mode to deal with this new threat.. Splash 1! Splash 2! And Splash 3! The Hornets return to the ground battle but they are now all out of air-to-ground ordinance and the Marines have just fired their last TOW... The enemy armour is pushing down the hill and the Marines, both on the ground and in the air are down to guns only.. And then the first of the BMPs reach the base of the hill... .50cal armed Humvees disable the first one, but there are plenty more.. A Hornet engages with 20mm in a desperate attempt to save the unarmed TOW Humvees.. But there's one left.. Got him! And then it's over. The enemy's spirit is broken and seconds later the relief flights of Hornets and Cobras arrive and begin pounding the retreating enemy units.. After a sweep of the battlefield to secure prisoners and tend to wounded the Marines are extracted by helo and the operation is over.. And the SEALs will be back on the beach in Dubai in a couple of days, travelling in a bit better style than the manner in which they had arrived! The End..

The Marines had been expecting to face a poorly armed militia, instead they were up against a major armoured force... The Sudanese have follow-on forces moving up, and it looks like a group of BMPs are breaking away from the main force to try to flank the Marines... And they have their own air support inbound too... To be continued...

You don't have any keys or joystick buttons assigned your guns. In the game go into Options/Control/Customize and then you can set your joystick buttons up to fire the guns.

Strung out across the valley floor to prevent any militia forces escaping towards the border, the Marine blocking force is at a distinct disadvantage in the upcoming engagement.. With no time to call for extraction or even to redeploy to the opposite slopes of the valley the Marines will not hold the high ground and the only option will be to try to pick off the enemy vehicles as they crest the ridge and are silhouetted against the skyline... If the enemy armour gets down to the valley floor they will be able to manoeuvre freely and bring their main guns to bear on the lightly armoured Marine vehicles.. But the Marines have air support from AH-1Ws and F/A-18Ds which will try to thin down the Sudanese forces, with the FAC firstly running in to mark targets... Closely followed by the attack birds.. This isn't going to be easy though, the enemy have brought air defence units with them.. But the Marines have a flight outfitted for defence suppression... And then the first enemy units cross the ridgeline and the battle really begins... To be continued...

Near the border with Sudan the blocking force takes up position... At the convoy site the SEALs move into position.. The SEAL leader gives the order, 'Snipers engage'... But the snipers aren't lying prone with long guns, they are inbound AH-1W gunships with Hellfire missiles targeted at the enemy 'technicals' from the rear... The Cobras close to engage with rockets and guns.. As confusion reigns a SEAL element, armed to the teeth and kitted out for hostage rescue, emerges from cover and makes a move to secure the aid workers.. It's close combat but the militia don't really stand a chance against professionals.. The rest of the SEAL team close in to the secure the convoy and call in the extraction helos.. Meanwhile, an F/A-18D ATARS bird, outfitted for FAC spots a dust cloud crossing from the Sudan border and rolls in to investigate... It's militia reinforcements... But wait... They've got company, and it's heading straight towards the blocking force..... The Marines hastily reorient to meet the new threat, but they're out of position, outnumbered and outgunned... To be continued...

Thanks so much Eric! Please can you upload so everyone can enjoy it?
