AV8B VMA-231 #162081 (Shank 09) circa 1991      by Dave "Rooster" Walsh

I stumbled across this unique pattern in a Plane spotters guide. This aircraft was originally Delivered to the VMA-331 in 1985. During the furious marathon deployment to the Mid-east it was acquired by the VMA-231. It had yet to be repainted in desert greys to match the rest of the VMA-231 when it was tragically shot down by Iraqi IR missile over central Kuwait on 09FEB91. Captain Russ Sandborn ejected and was captured. The Captain survived 26 days in captivity, and Is now a Major General, Air commander, and all around bad-ass, still serving in the Marine Corps. 

Installation:

These skins do not require you to overwrite any existing "slots"; they exist as individual skins using the standard definition.lua format.
  Simply put the skin folders in your Liveries folder, your path may differ but will be something like:  DCS World > CoreMods > aircraft > AV8BNA > Liveries > AV8BNA 



There are Two Skins included: 

  VMA-231-91L (This is a lighter skin with more brownish tints, Less like the Actual Shank09) 
  VMA-231-91D (This is a Slightly Darker skin, with more greenish tints, More like the actual Shank09) 




Special Thanks to forums.eagle.eu users: 

 59th_RAVENS for his Excellent and painstaking work creating the Markings PSD files for the Harrier. 
 Home Fries for his Excellent work creating and making available to the community PSDs for the Hardpoint Racks, Fuel Tanks, Pods, and Finish touches on the nozzles and other little bits of the plane. 

All the Above files make skinning MUCH easier, and can be found on the ED forums, just search out those fellas names.
