Fictional Retro Thunderbird

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

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

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

VF-67, nicknamed the "Fighting Magicians," was established in late 1942 as an F6F Hellcat squadron, going on to fly other notable aircraft such as the F9F-6 Cougar and the F-4 Phantom II. In 1972 the squadron, along with VF-153 "Pit Vipers," became the first to transition into the F-14A Tomcat. They would not however be the first to score a kill with the fighter, but in its mere presence the first fourth-generation fighter was more than enough to deter Yuktobanian forces and their allies

The Sea Control Fighter Squadron (VFS) was a short-lived experiment by Osea's Department of the Navy intended to supplement carrier air wings by replacing their S-3s with the more versatile F-14A+, leveraging its use of the AGM-84 Harpoon, long range, and high speed. Although effective for ASuW, the major achilles' heel of the "SF-14" as crews called it was the lack of any substantial antisubmarine warfare capability. The three VFS squadrons (VFS-5, VFS-9, and VFS-36) were established in 1979 and transitioned to the S-3 by 1984. VFS-5, nicknamed the "Kingfishers," was the most successful, sinking multiple enemy warships including a light cruiser during the 1982 Kijera Strait Crisis

The A-16 program starting in the late 1980s was an experiment to utilize the Viper frame to make a faster platform to replace the A-10.  It was theorized faster speeds would increase survivability.  They even strapped a 30mm gunpod to the centerline station.  After vibration and accuracy issues were encountered, the rest is history.

This is a 285th Flying Wrecks version of that skin complete with camo roughmets, pilot helmet, pilot patches, and featuring Rocket Boy! mascot.
