It is a basic livery for the Forrestal, brightening lots of the deck markings, changing the Island to gray, and adding some Canadian touches to the Default Heatblur USS Forrestal.

In an alternate world under a lease agreement with the US Navy, Canada would once again have an aircraft carrier. With a strained budget, a single Forrestal-Class aircraft carrier was chosen. Not long after, the vessel was commissioned into the Canadian Armed Forces as HMCS Forrestal (CV-59).

The second F-16 Squadron assigned to the 224th Fighter Wing in Roca Roja was a controversial choice for the OADF leadership. Historically the 161st Fighter Squadron had been one of the primary instructional units for pilots assigned to the F-16 airframe, and for the past fifteen years had been the hosts of the Chaldea Exercise held at Arixo Air Base yearly. When asked about it, Squadron Commander Major Diamante McCue explained “Whether we like it or not, the F-16 is on its way to replacement in the coming decade. Already three historic Viper squadrons have replaced their aging airframes with the newer and more capable F-35. The way I see it, the Desperados going out as an operational squadron is the best case scenario. And while our day may come soon for the final flight of the F-16, while we’re out here we're going to make a difference and show what the Vipers can really do.”

With the establishment of the 224th Fighter Wing in Roca Roja, Usea, The Gorgons made were transferred to their second wing assignment in as many years. Following their middling performance during the Lighthouse War, Osean Air Defense Force Chief Of Staff General Mike Dugan personally relieved the Squadron’s former commander of command and subsequently had the unit deactivated citing a ‘severe loss of confidence’ following a near forty five percent attrition rate of pilots in the opening hours of the Eruseans attack in May of 2019 on bases in Osea. The unit would only stay dormant for a year though with a reactivation and new leadership in March of 2022. Now on the heels of reactivation and transfer into active duty. The Gorgons have made the shift from the 27th Fighter Wing into the 224th as the first of two all-weather multi-role units assigned into the 225th Fighter Group.

While not as glamorous as the Fighters or Strikers, its hard to say that Electronic Attack Squadron 133 doesn’t pull their own weight when it comes to air wing operations aboard the OFS Vulture.

Established as a EA-6B Squadron in 1991, they would serve aboard the OFS Buzzards reserve air wing throughout the Belkan war and Circum-Pacific wars until 2011 with their Transfer to Carrier Air Wing 7 aboard the recently commissioned OFS Vulture.

In 2019, the Squadron would be shore-side during most of the Lighthouse War, providing Electronic Warfare support to IUN Forces. In 2020, VAQ-133 would regroup and return with the rest of Air Wing 7 to Osea, and is currently in their workup phase for a 2024 deployment.

Established in 1982 at NAS Meridian, StrikeFitron 112 ‘Paladins’ would become one of the first stood up F/A-18 Hornet squadrons within the OMDF, and notably, made primarily fr om members of the F-14 Community, pulling pilots from both the VF-12 ‘Knights’ and  VF-83 ‘Warhawks’. Carrying over most of the traditions from the Knights, VFA-112 would earn their battle colors in 1993 during the ‘January Fifth Incident’, wh ere Paladin Hornets would shoot down four F-5N fighters from Sotoa.

The Paladins would continue to serve throughout the 1990s and 2000’s, During the Belkan War, and again during the Continental War flying against Yuktobanian Forces. In 2020 following a hectic deployment to Usea, the Paladins were largely slated for a training rotation before workups for a 2024 Anean Deployment, though rumors from the Osean Department of State may pit the Paladins, and rest of Carrier Air Wing 7, for a deployment to Verusea far sooner.

VF-211 operated the F-14 Tomcat for 30 years (1975-2005), including the A and B models. The livery depicted in these skins represents the 2000-2002 period, during which the Checkmates won numerous awards for their combat strike-fighter effectiveness.

At the turn of the century, Adygea had opted to purchase 12 F-14A Tomcats from Osea. The former OMDF aircraft would transfer into the AAF in 2001 to bolster the air superiority and beyond visual range capabilities of Adygea, complimenting their aging F-4 Phantom fleet. Pilots would be trained by OMDF instructor classes in the nearly 20 years they operated during peacetime.

RCN/CAF Fictional CF-144 Livery V1.1 (17/03/2024)

This is a fictional livery based off the Royal Navy F-4’s as the basis of a what-if the Royal Canadian Navy had the funds for a new carrier and F-14’s.

There are two liveries provided.
    146 – in VF-871 colours, it is inspired by the US Navy and old RCN liveries, this is what it may have looked like before the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces.
    334 – In VF-870 colours, this is a more realistic interpretation of what a naval version of a CF-144 may have looked like in the 80s. Though colour markings are bars instead of triangles as it was difficult to make it fit the shape of the rudder.
