Fictional Retro Thunderbird

In 2008, due to maintenance and budget restrictions, the Dragons would trade their remaining F-14s to VMF-78, and would instead fly the F/A-18 Hornet, redesignated as VMFA-24.

With their more advanced Hornets, the Dragons have continued their mission of supporting Osean Marine operations, with their first trial by fire during the Circum-Pacific War, providing critical Close Air Support during marine landings in southern Yuktobania during Operation Footprint.

Following their actions, they would make various deployments until making a combat deployment to Usea in support of the 2019 Lighthouse War between Osea and Erusea.

The Flying Wardens of VMFA-304 have had an exceptionally colorful history, flying everything from the F4F Hellcat and AD Skyraider to the RA-5C Vigilante and the F-35D Lightning II. Between their stints with the Skyraider and Vigilante they operated the A-4 Skyhawk, providing close air support to Osean and Aurelian forces against communist insurgents in the latter country's northern jungles. VMA-304 notably was the squadron with the only Marine Corps ace of the war not to fly the F-4 Phantom or F-8 Crusader, with Capt. Luis Avery shooting down two enemy aircraft with an A-1 and four with his Skyhawk. After three tours in the Aurelian Sea the squadron would be redesignated to RVMAH-304, becoming the sole Marine Corps squadron to operate the RA-5C and one of three equipped with any form of the Vigilante (along with VMAH-63 and VMAH-174 flying the A-5B non-nuclear variant) and would later operate the A-6E Intruder as VMA(AW)-304 and the F/A-18D Night Attack and F-35D as VMFA-304

Established in 1922 as Fighting Squadron Three the Fighting Seawolves of VF-20 have led an exciting and tumultuous life as a squadron even before the 1990s. from their stint in the F4U-6 Super Corsair during the Second Osean War to their use of the F-4 Phantom in support of the Aurelian Air Force during the early parts of the 1967-1973 South Osean War. In 1971 they became the fifth squadron (excluding new establishments like VF-77 and VF-130) to transition to the brand new F-14A Tomcat and brought it into combat during their final cruise of the war. In early 1976 they were once again upgraded, this time to the F-14A+. The squadron made the first kills for the new variant on their 1980-1981 WESTPAC cruise, engaging and destroying two MiG-23 "Floggers" and an Su-24 "Fencer" of the Estovak Air Force during a few skirmishes. This aircraft, BLACKFISH 205 (BuNo. 163051), was responsible for the Sukhoi kill with LCDR Ethan "Thorn" Rose up front and LTJG Luke "Chip" Walsh in the back seat

Established in 1975, VMF-78, along with their sister squadron VMF-24, were an experiment within the largely overlooked Osean Marine Corps aviation branch. Taking the then state-of-the-art fighters, the Marines would learn to use them as close-air-support fighter-bombers. First with standard iron bombs during counter insurgency operations in Adama during the 1977 uprising; And then later using Laser-guided munitions with their LANTRIN upgrade before the Belkan war. With their precision weapons, the Marines would launch multiple raids against hardened Belkan positions on the western front, helping eventually push the Belkans into a full retreat.


Today the pilots of VMF-78 await for their next mission at MCAS McClusky on Osea’s west coast, on an ever vigilant watch for any enemies who may come.

Emboldened by the Maritime Defense Force’s early successes with the F-14, it was only a matter of time for the air arm of the Osean Marine Corps to purchase their own Tomcats.The first Marine aviators would be sent to the RAG in mid 1974, while purchase agreements were finalized between the Marines and vendors.

The first squadron of Tomcats that would be stood up by the Marines would be. VMF-24, otherwise known as the “Dragons”. With the first half dozen of pilots arriving back from VF-228 in late 1975, the squadron would not reach IOC until 1977, a full year after their sister squadron on the west coast VMF-78 “Dapper Dressed Killers”. The Dragons would see an early deployment in May of 1978, to Southern Osea, helping to deter Leasath aggression from Osean trade reaching the country's long-time rival of Aurelia.

The Dragons would deploy various times in the 1980s and 1990s, and would participate in the Belkan War, providing air support to landing operations during the conflict.

Thanks again to JacobBadshot for the 106 template

On February 2nd, 1970 an F-106 of the 71st Fighter-Interceptor Squadron was conducting routine ACM training when it entered a flat spin, the pilot ejecting after he could not regain control of the aircraft. Interestingly the ejection shifted the Delta Dart's center of gravity far enough back for it to exit the spin and the pilotless aircraft glided to a soft landing in a Montana farmer's field, leading to its nickname. 58-0787 was recovered and served until 1988 when it was transferred to the National Museum of the United States Air Force where it remains on display to this day

Seeing a need for Ground-based Close Air Support aircraft following the 2010 Circum Pacific War, the Osean Marine Corps went forth with a series of Trials for different Ground Attack Aircraft to supplement their existing AV-8B and Helicopter forces until the F-35B could be produced en masse

In 2013 VMA-311 was redesignated as VMFA-311 Trialing the F-16C and A-10C Fighters. Ultimately the Service elected to adopt the F-16C, Assigning the "Tomcats" to the light fighter and returning the A-10s to the OADF. VMFA-311 Fighters first Deployment would be in 2016 during the Emmerian-Estovakian War, in Yuktobania to help secure the passage of Osean Vessels in the region. The Tomcats would make another Combat Deployment in 2019, this time to Usea supporting Osean Landings in the southern parts of Erusea near the end of the Conflict.

Currently VMFA-311 is still stationed at MCAS Oceanside in Califia.

Massive thanks to JacobBadshot for his F-106 template, couldn't have done it without him

The F-106 was a supersonic delta-winged interceptor in service with the OADF from the early 1960s to the early 1980s, used for both point defense and longer range interceptions. It carried three AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missiles, and although integrating the AIM-7 Sparrow and AIM-9 Sidewinder was proposed the project never left the drawing board. It has noticeable similarities to the Emmerian-built Mirage III in performance and looks. Increasingly the Delta Dart is finding popularity as a warbird, with over 20 restored to airworthiness and seven more are in the late phases of restoration. One was controversially entered in the 2020 November City Air Races in the jet class, but regardless of the controversy surrounding supersonic aircraft it lost to an F9F-6 Cougar. The same aircraft was entered in later years but found itself against F-4s, MiG-21s, and even two F-14As in its new class
