Fictional maritime Irish Air Corps / Aer Chór na hÉireann - Roscommon skin for the Hornet.

A very slight modification of my first skin (Galway Hornet) into Roscommon version.

Built upon the fictional UK livery already in-game.

A sort of "what if" scenario where Ireland got their hands on some Legacy Hornets when they had money to spare during the Celtic Tiger years between the mid-1990s and late-2000s.

Ireland, being a small island nation needed dedicated naval/maritime patrol aircraft to monitor their airspace and coast amid rising political tension abroad, occasional incursions of Russian bombers into Irish airspace, and concerns surrounding Britain's continued contribution to the defence of Ireland's airspace. When the US began to gradually replace their Legacy Hornets with Super Hornets, they were happy to supply Ireland with several dozen of these Legacy Hornets.

This one's part of the Roscommon Airbase (RN) Squadron, of the Connacht (Province of West Ireland) region, based around the new Ballymoe-Castlerea airfield.

(Making up stuff as I go really, but that's the fun of it).

Features blue/yellow Roscommon flag, RN tail code, Connacht coat of arms, and IAC roundel.

(Note - These are fairly handy to make; only involving swapping tail codes, pilot names and county flag colours. I'll continue making these for Connacht's counties but if there's other Irish counties/provinces you'd like to see done in the meantime, please drop a comment and I'll be more than happy to work on it).
