Regarding the F/A-18s, can there be other factions used for this as well? Meaning let's say there are 20 Hornets. 10 of these can be American and also strictly be operating from the Carrier. The remaining can be airfield operated and could belong to Australia, Switzerland, Canada, Finland etc since they are still Blue force and operate Hornets in their air forces.
Can similar be done for Blue side F-5Es? Could contain Dutch, Norwegian, Saudi Arabian etc alongside US?
