I’m pleased to present a collection of my favorite subjects - Navy adversary aircraft!  Specifically included are each of the A-4E/Fs (numbered 550-557) operated by the Navy Fighter Weapons School from the mid-80s to the early 90s.  All 8 jets were in the TOPGUN inventory concurrently for a brief 2-month period between July and September of 1989, and are representative of the school’s Scooter stable for the period.  

Please check out the PDF booklet included in the download - I really enjoyed creating a more cohesive presentation for the skins inspired by the books I collected in researching them.  I hope you enjoy the booklet and flying with the skins as much as I do!

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).

I thought it would be nice to make a helmet for our favorite dumb@ss. Loosely based off of LCDR Heatherly's helmet from Top Gun, this helmet features the classic star pattern but adapted to a realistic tape scheme to kinda fit the US Navy's standards after about the early/mid 1980s. Feel free to slap this helmet in any of your RIO seats. That being said, please download from here, instead of handing it out to your friends. Thanks!

(I will make a version with the F-4E when Heatblur releases it, don't worry)

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.
