Skin based off the Space Shuttle Enterprise and inspired by the Tomcat Shuttle skin by Aritani

Skin inspired by the NASA Space Shuttle Endeavour while still keeping many of the Tomcat decals.

Custom Lantirn pod and pylon, AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, and fuel droptanks.

First livery so could be errors. Let me know and i'll try my best to fix them.

Let me know what you think.

This skin commemorates NASA's Space Shuttle program, which ran from 1972 to 2011. It includes a complete exterior skin for the F/A-18C and its fuel tank. The skin takes inspiration from each of the Space Shuttles and does not mimic a specific Shuttle in particular.

The Space Shuttle is one of the most iconic spacecraft of the space age. With over 135 missions spanning over 1322 days, orbiting the Earth 20,952 times, travelling a distance of over 500 million miles, the Space Shuttle program has earned its reputation as a symbol of science and human perseverance.

Take to the skies with this skin and get a feel for what real speed is. Do an unrestricted climb straight through the atmosphere and be sure to hold nothing back. Suit up, sit back, and arm the ejector seat. This will NOT be a smooth ride.

NASA T-38 Talon livery for F-5E

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 STOL/MTD (Short Takeoff and Landing/Maneuver Technology Demonstrator) is a modified F-15 Eagle. Developed as a technology demonstrator, the F-15 STOL/MTD carried out research for studying the effects of thrust vectoring and enhanced maneuverability. The aircraft used for the project was pre-production TF-15A (F-15B) No. 1 (USAF S/N 71-0290), the first two-seat F-15 Eagle built by McDonnell Douglas (out of 2 prototypes[2]), the sixth F-15 off the assembly line, and was the oldest F-15 flying up to its retirement. It was also used as the avionics testbed for the F-15E Strike Eagle program.[3] The plane was on loan to NASA from the United States Air Force.
This same aircraft would later be used in the F-15 ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles) from 1993–1999, and later in the Intelligent Flight Control System programs from 1999 to 2008.
While with NASA, the aircraft's tail number was 837; for the Quiet Spike program and Research Testbed

Update 2022-02-06: Pilot patch fixed, Refuel slot in correct color, Tested with DCS 2.7.10

This General Dynamics F-16A was used by NASA Dryden Flight Research Center as an accompanying aircraft for testing the one and two-seater F-16XL and later as a test vehicle in the AFTI program (Advanced Fighter Technology Integration) at the DFRC. It is the only F-16 (serial no. 82-0976) with civil registration N826NA. Previously, this F-16A was used by the Langley Research Center with the identifier N516NA. The vertical tail of the A version was replaced by a C / D vertical tail during use.
