Fun fictional livery

309th FS Wild Ducks, dirty version, not correct block, works with bort numbers. Luke AFB, F-16 training squadron.

Made this for my Dad, who was the CMSgt of the 309th a while back. If you look up pictures and see it with the custom leather, nose, hud, seat, engine, intake covers and the chrome gun port which they put on during air shows. He had those made so I added the chrome gun port cover on this one as well. I know it is not the correct block that the 309th flys but decided to do it anyway. I tried to clean it up a little being a squadron jet but not too clean. I didn't get a screenshot of it but if you look at it from external, I also added a squadron sticker on the panel cover on near the front of the cockpit but can only be seen from outside as I have yet to figure out how to custom make interior view textures that will pass IC. So this will be good to go as long as you put into your saved games folder. Enjoy

DISCLAIMER: Official texture template was not released yet so keep in mind that errors may appear if something changes to the external model of the Thunder and textures need to be reworked. Also there may be bugs.
