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:

PER READ ME :
SF2 O-1E RCAF Service
A bit of history :
Cessna 305 Bird Dog, L-19E (Serial Nos. 16717-16735).
The Canadian Army originally called No. 1 Air Observation Post No. 1 Air Observation Post Flight (Type A) (Army Component), Royal Canadian Artillery.  This was changed to No. 1 Air Observation Post Flight (Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery) on 15 Feb 1957.  Both used the same abbreviation of No. 1 AOP Flt.
No. 1 AOP moved to Hemer, Germany in March 1960 at Fort Prince of Wales and where it was redesignated as No. 1 Air Observation Post Troop.  They were attached to the 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery as part of 4 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group.  No. 1 AOP Tp moved to Lahr in southern Germany in 1970 with the rest of the Brigade and on 1 Oct 1972, No. 1 AOP Tp and the three other Army aviation elements within 4 CMBG; including the Command and Liaison Flight 4 CMBG HQ, Aircraft Repair Platoon 4 Service Battalion and Helicopter Reconnaissance Troop, C Squadron Royal Canadian Dragoons, were amalgamated and became No. 444 Tactical Helicopter Squadron.

This is to represent the Post War RCAF B-25 scheme used from 1951 to 1958.
To be used on the B-25 that can be found here :
Serials and plane numbers are accurate BUT not squadron specific.
I do know the RCAF Post War were not armed in real life, so this part is not accurate :)
Just copy and paste to the right folders and go fly!
Thanks to :

Special tanks to:
Wrench – Base templates for all the new markings
Myself – Skins update and new one’s
 
 
 
From V1.0 Readme :
All skins are in DDS format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all skins. The serial numbers are 100% accurate, as these really flew in the RCAF.
 
The RCAF skins/markings were a real mess up to the 80’s, so these are the common one’s encountered and how they should have look like. In real life, that was not the case every time as there was mix up between skins…
 
Special tanks to:
 
ErikGen – Base aircraft where the T-33A can be found :

Some details will be different then real life RCAF Mi-17 as they are model related (no Mi-17 in the model list available).

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND :
Canada, as various NATO countries, leased civilian Mi-8/Mi-17 in the past for transport in Afghanistan. However in 2010, four Mi-17V5 known as CH-178 were operated by Canadian personnel and carrying Canadian markings. When the mission was over they were put in storage.

Open the Textureset.ini and edit the file by adding the texture.ini lines to the Mi-8T.ini. 
Open the Userlist.ini and edit the lines for Canada service years.  

All decals are made by me. I completely redraw the panel lines and rivets. 
Serials are real one's.
