FSX F/A-18C Snowbird

F/A-18C Snowbird livery brings a fictional Canadian aerobatics “Snowbird 1” look to the Acceleration default Hornet, adding crisp textures that stand out in formation flying and airshow routines. Designed for FSX, it enhances the external finish while keeping the stock aircraft and virtual cockpit intact, and requires the Acceleration F/A-18.

description="The Hornet combines the ruggedness required of carrier-borne aircraft with speed and superior agility, especially at high angles of attack. Its powerful engines, canted vertical stabilizers, horizontal stabilators, large leading- and trailing-edge flaps, and sophisticated flight control system all contribute to a level of performance that makes the Hornet a versatile front-line fighter in several air forces around the world."
