Victory!

The Boeing FA-18F Super Hornet in the livery and paint scheme of the very famous VF-103, the "Jolly Rogers". The actual aircraft used by the real VFA-103 Jolly Rogers.

Strike Fighter Squadron 103 (VFA-103), also known as the "Jolly Rogers", is an aviation unit of the United States Navy established in 1952 and is still flying till this day in the Super Hornet.

The Same Main Controls and Activation Groups as most of my Super Hornets:
A & D = Ailerons
W & S = Elevators
Q & E = Rudder
AG1 = Arrestor Hook
AG2 = Folding Wings
AG3 = Flaps Down
AG4 = Air Brake
AG5 = Drop External Fuel Tanks
AG6 = Drop Those Tax Payer Funded Weapons Systems
AG7 = Retract The Catapult Launch Bar
AG8 = Master Arm and Activate AOA Limiter
VTOL Down = Locks the control surfaces into position
Trim = For Trim Controls
Landing Gear = Gears and Cockpit Raiser
Brake = Aerodynamic Deflection Rudders

Credit goes to EngineerOtaku for the F/A-18 Hornet as the base for the Super Hornet...
