But I second your wish for a Jolly Rogers skin. Since we have the Theodore Roosevelt carrier, which they were deployed on quite a bit, a paint scheme from the late 80s would be great. @Reflected made great liveries from that era, maybe it's possible to include them in the core game - along with VF-41, their sister squadron. 2 "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward.

Although addition of those would also look epic, similar to Top Gun skins [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry:

The main issue with that teased skin was that it had some additional stripes and chevrons at the top of the tails that VF-84 never went to sea with. Other then that, I think it was pretty accurate. I do wish @Reflected would fix one little issue that bugs me with his early VF-84 skin...the turbine warning line should not extend all the way across the top of the fuselage.
