In collaboration with Shmoo42...

VF-24 Red Checkertails' first CAG aircraft after transitioning from F-8 Crusaders, Bureau Number 159631, representing their transitional period with VF-211 Fighting Checkmates at Naval Air Station Fallon, circa early 1976.

Included:
- Livery of VF-24's first CAG F-14 Tomcat, Bureau Number 159631(same jet used in Top Gun: Maverick)
- Custom AIM-7F Livery, in a bright white with golden-yellow & black stripes, intended to imitate a hi-vis AIM-7F
- Custom AIM-54A Livery, intended to imitate a more period accurate AIM-54A Phoenix
- Custom helmets which are as close to VF-24's helmets during 1976(major thanks to Shmoo42 for the entire VF-24 helmet and 3 variations)
- Custom TARPS with upscaled textures. Not accurate to timeframe, but at least it is not a beaten-up gray TARPS

NOTE(s):
- The package will not display correctly without the CAG AND CO aircraft, as the rest of the liveries pull from the CAG + CO to reduce file size.
- Due to some confusion, it must be addressed that the .zip liveries can only be(as far as I'm aware of as of right now), in the CoreMods folders, not the Saved Games folders. Please drop the package of .zips within CoreMods/aircraft/F14/Liveries/F-14A-135-GR instead of a Saved Games liveries folder.

I have made a Ko-Fi page! If anyone would like to donate so I can acquire more information and photos to deliver greater accuracy to my Tomcats, link provided just below.
