Dave1089 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Hi Guys, Looking for some pictures of VFA-211's F/A-18F's during their Inherent Resolve cruise. I've just picked up Fightertown's new F/A-18E/F sheet and it has a great low-vis VFA-211 scheme with a huge bomb tally but I can't seem to find any pictures of the jet online, or of many other VFA-211 jets during the cruise, showing weathering, weapons loads etc. Any help would be great.

Pete Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Here's one, from the USN website: Click me. If you do a search on Navy.mil for (VFA) 211, you'll get a few results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Man that VFA-22 bird is uuuugggggggllllly looking There's not a "highlighted" panel line to be seen, either. That picture shows what true weathering should look like on a Super Hornet. I've seen very few achieve that look. It's really difficult to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
