F-14A VF-31 Wolfpack 1986, USS Forrestal

Accurate colors, updated roughmets, labels and stencils.

***UPDATED FOR 2.7***

This is a single mission recreation of the 1981 Gulf of Sidra incident, when two F-14s of VF-41 shot down 2 Lybian SU-22s. The mission does not only recreate the events accurately, but uses the original radio recordings as voice overs, so you can re-live what Fast Eagle 102 and 107 went through 40 years ago.

The mission comes with custom briefing and kneeboard pages, historically accurate custom skins, original radio transmissions and other voice overs by Epolta. It can also be played in Multiplayer with a human RIO.
