These are skinned based on pictures found online.  None of these aircraft stayed in the same configuration throughout their life, so I based it on one instance to get some variation.

A single mission, (designed to be multiplayer as well) , that includes 3 sequential activities in the same mission.
It uses MOOSE framework for its mission programming and it includes:<br />
- 2 complete automated ground control intercept and combat air patrol system ( AI GCI CAP) for Red and Blue<<br />
( meanings that in a range of 150 km those airbase will automatically send a fighter towards each intrusions. )<br />
- all airspace is covered by AWACS on both side ( will respawn in 15 min if destroyed )<br />
- all airbases are protected by S300 and Patriot Sam Systems. ( will repair 1 hour after destruction )<br />
- 1 Aerial tanker to practice because its fun!<br />
- Easy communication<br />

From Al Minhad airbase we will search and destroy for a military transport that is signaled on the west coast. After successfull elimination of the target, we will have to reload and defend from the inevitable retaliation that will occur.

Based on the Iran Campaign template from Jane's F-15, this template tries to replicate the IADS from Jane's F-15, although mostly only in the detailed areas of the Persian Gulf map with SAM sites, AAA-sites, radar sites, Silkworm batteries, and a few ammunition depots, and I added defenses, ammunition depots and a radar base at Jask. Not 100% accurate at the moment, and not every AAA battery and SAM site is replicated.

This skin depicts an F-18A Hornet that was flown by the Naval Air Test Centre at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland,
commonly called "Pax River".

It is depicted as it appeared in May of 1986 during the 75th Anniversary of US Naval Aviation as indicated by the two small commemorative
badges on the tail fins.

Current real-to-life SAM and EWR sites for Iran and the UAE as well as Iranian Infrastructure I have deemed to be strategically important to Iran.

Daesh has been gaining in strength in the region in a very worrying manner. It is thought an unknown benefactor is providing unheard of military resources and command infrastructure guidance. The Stennis fleet has been brought into the area complete with a contingent of F18C Hornets to contain this threat.
Unbelievably Intel have picked up today that two submarines are being procured for Daesh. Who knows what for? They are currently in harbour, in a known location 50 miles away, but will be submerged within the hour. Although not in accordance with protocol, given the time factor, you have been tasked with leaving immediately to intercept and destroy both submarines. Your single F18C is armed with 4 Mark 83s, Aim7M, Aim120 and Aim9X.
It is understood Daesh are being trained to take part in the use of the subs in a camp deep in land. Military satellites are currently looking for its location. Time is of the essence.
It is early evening and unusually for the region there is some rain in the air. Your Hornet, call sign "Ford", is hooked into Cat 2 and awaiting clearance. Razor, in Cat 1, is ahead in the flight schedule and is about to leave for Khasab. You watch Razor anxiously as you are keen to commence and execute your mission before the evening light fails.
