*** 17 April 2023 Update***
Summary of Changes:
-Updated description.lua to remove modex after latest update)

This aircraft depicts BuNo. 165220 of VMFA-323 during the Marine Corps final F/A-18 carrier deployment before transitioning to the F-35.  VMFA-323 recently returned from a deployment to the USS Nimitz.  Please enjoy this this "Last Ride" Hornet skin.  S/F

This mod adds American and Norwegian squadrons to your logbook, and allows pilot to fly for the United States Navy or the United States Marine Corps in addition to the default nations.  The USN and USMC "countries" have their own sets of insignia and share a set of medals.  Additionally, the proper USA medals will now include the "Combat V" as applicable.

For DCS World 2.8.6.41363 and later only.

Skin it's based on photos of AV-8B+ (serial number165568) used in VMA-211 "Wake Island Avengers" made for @nerdkid_23 ;) In practice it is a cosmetic modification of the already existing in DCS skin but I wouldn't say it was easy.

You must know it isn't 1-to-1 copy - you will get a variable tactical numbers (this is why the ones on the nose are moved to the front of the original), also serial numbers are variable... oh and there is no under cockpit pilot name tape. But rest is pure gold ;)

I hope you will like it and have fun while use it now... and when we will get the Marianas Islands Map ;)<

Changes from v. 1.0:
- added new helmet decal
- fixed few small issues with textures on nose and tail
- better tires
