A livery recreation of the RJAF (Royal Jordanian Air Force) F16A Block 20 MLU number 155 of the 1st Squadron.
this particular aircraft began its way in the Belgian Air Force in 1989 as FA-111, and in 2011 was delivered to Jordan as part of the "Peace Falcon V" deal.
The number 1 Squadron was formed in Amman, in 1958, operating the hawker hunter until 1974 in which they were replaced by F-5's.
in 1981 the squadron switched to operating the Mirage F-1C/E. the squadron was deactivated at 2007 and at the same year in december reopened as an F-16A/B squadron, receiving their first ADF falcons from "TUSAS" in Turkey.
today it based at Azraq, with short periods at prince Hasan Air base and Habbaniya (Iraq).
most notable operations of the squadrons are : the enforcement of the no fly zone over Libya during Operation Odyssey Dawn / Operation Unified Protector. and operations against Daesh ( ISIS ).
This skin is a collaboration between myself and "Roughmaster" aka "Gunfighter06" here on the dcs user file section,
and the product of more than 4 months of research, material gathering and asset creation.
the exchange of ideas and expertise helped this project to achieve the highest level of quality we can provide for a viper skin.
i also want to thank "_Akatsuki" for advising with the panel numbers.
this skin features :
--------------------
* FIRST EVER completely done external cockpit texture for the viper module!
* over 120 Vector decals and labels correctly placed in their real life locations.
* 521 panel number labels. individually placed in their correct real life places.

* newly done radome metal stripes.
* gold plated back canopy with higher opacity and scratches.
* new desert suit for the pilot with matching ranks, patches and normal maps.
* 3 new Panels and matching normal maps and roughmet's. the ECS Access/external canopy switch, a D-140 panel. and an under nose antenna panel.
