In 2013 VFA-87 acquired F/A-18C's from VFC-12. The Golden Warriors kept the blue camo scheme from VFC-12 for a little bit before they were repainted to the standard tactical paint scheme. This only includes AJ402

In February 2014, VFA-87 and CVW-8 embarked aboard CVN-77 deployed to the Fifth Fleet Area of Responsibility in support of National Command Authority tasking. VFA-87 returned to Naval Air Station Oceana, Nov. 14, 2014, following its successful nine month deployment conducting combat operations.

On 8 September 2008, VFA-15 and CVW-8 deployed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt on a regularly scheduled deployment. On 4 October, the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Group arrived in Cape Town, South Africa, the first visit by an American aircraft carrier since 1967 and three days later the carrier left Cape Town. CVW-8 and Theodore Roosevelt supported Operation Enduring Freedom and flew more than 3,100 sorties and dropped more than 59,500 pounds of ordnance while providing Close Air Support for ISAF-forces in Afghanistan. On 21 March 2009 Theodore Roosevelt was relieved by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

This pack contains 3 liveries of the VFA-15 (2 of them reflect the real-life counterpart and one is a "generic" line livery).
The liveries are based on the colors as seen in 2013-2014.
VFA-15 retired all of their F/A-18s and was deactivated by the end of may 2017.

This F-18 depicts a line jet of VFA-87 from the early to mid 2000s.
It has the new style indian in grey but still sports the yellow and red warpaint on the cheek.
Pilot patches and fuel tank are included.
The livery was created in 8k to allow maxium detail.
Many thanks to megalax who rebuilt the F-18 template in 8k.
And to stargazer, who took the screenshots for me.
