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.

Su-27 Fictional Skins: US Navy Fighter Squadrons
for DCS World 1.2.14 and later

Volume I of II
This is a collection of eight skins representing three US Navy fighter squadrons using historical F-14 Tomcat liveries.

Volume I re-uploaded 08MAY2020 (inadvertently had Volume II for download)

A pair of ex-Pakistani AF F-16As, used by the US Navy for Adversary support.

VMFT-401 was commissioned in 1986 and in 1987 received the IAI Kfir (designated F-21A) under lease from the Israeli government.  The "Snipers" flew the Kfir until 1989, when it transitioned to the F-5E Tiger II.  This skin is inspired by the 1987-89 timeframe in which USN and USMC flew the Kfir, a delta-wing aircraft of French origin.

The Kfir was built by IAI based on the Mirage V airframe.  The closest flyable substitute to the Kfir in DCS is the M-200C, so this is a fictional skin that paints the M-2000C as a USMC adversary.  This skin pack uses the traditional Israeli Air Force desert pattern that was used on some of the VMFT-401 adversary aircraft, as well as the Flogger and Ghost patterns also used by VMFT-401.  Since the original aircraft were leased and kept much of their original markings, so is the case with the M-2000C skins.

Did my best to do my first skins :)
