USS Nimitz's Strike Fighter Squadron 41

***This is only a skin***

You need to download and install SkylineGTRFreak's awesome F-14A first.

A very famous squadron. The jets that inspired much of the film Top Gun.

While on deployment in the Mediterranean on August 19, 1981, during a routine combat air patrol mission over the Gulf of Sidra, two Libyan Su-22 "Fitter" aircraft were shot down by squadron aircraft. The incident marked the first Navy air combat confrontation since the Vietnam War and the first ever for the F-14A Tomcat. It was the first time a variable wing geometry aircraft shot down another variable wing geometry aircraft. 1981 was also the first year in which the squadron won the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle Efficiency "E", signifying them as the most efficient squadron in the Atlantic Fleet. VF-41 was also awarded the Battle "E" in 1985 and 1989.

I have included a picture of the real jet involved in the real-life SU-22 shoot down in the gallery.

To install: Go to you DLC packs in OIV, navigate to the F14a folder and the Tomcat.rpf. Then click the edit button on the top right in OIV and then open the f14a.ytd. Select a livery that you do not care for and click replace, replace it with this one, click save.

As always a huge, sincere thank you to SkylineGTRFreak for all of his amazing models for the GTA community. I deeply appreciate his time, talent, and generous kindness that he has poured into his work for all of us.

I hope that you enjoy this amazing F-14A model and the killer new skin.
