Inspired by VFA-103 Jolly Rogers Hornets. To install, open up the RAR file and from it drag and drop the VFA-103 folder into your Disk:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\F-5E\Liveries\F-5E-3, or into your C:\Users\USER\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\F-5E-3 folder and enjoy :) I hope you like the livery, feel free to rate it and comment, and as always have a safe and pleasant flight!

F/A-18C Hornet (VFA-113 / CVW-17) as it appeared just as it embarked on USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) in May 2012
This is a completely re painted livery, for the actual Fa18-CLot 50, the other livery on user files is for the OLD F18 model. This bird was painted especially and assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 113, flown by Cmdr. Craig Sicola. The Coronado Firehouse was apparently his favourite steakhouse and bar when on shore !

Here's another skin I made a while ago. SW inspired skin template. I claim no credit for the tail art or logos. I do claim the credit for the stripes and design as that's original (though based on a SW scheme).

Recommended to open the zip, and copy the Liveries folder to your Saved Games/DCS.Openbeta folder.

For my first F/A-18C Hornet skin I present the USN VFA-82 Freedom Fighters. A fictional livery I created. Took a long time to line up all the lines and graphics just (not perfectly) right. There may still be some imperfections, but not really noticeable in flight.

Drop into your "username/saved games/DCS" or "/DCS.openbeta" folder. Goes into your SAVED GAMES folder.
