Although Canada does not have any Rhinos as of this time, they have been a long time operator of the Hornet.
This livery depicts Nighthawk 795 of the 409 Tactical Fighter Squadron.
I need to do some further refinements as I get more time but this is should fulfill the request with a 90% solution.
I have found a super weathered (dirty) Canadian Hornet picture and I would love to put that kinda weathering ont his one as well.
Go Navy!
Drop the folder "RCAF CF-18" into your community folder.
The livery looks great! I've been waiting for an RCAF livery ever since SU7 and I'm glad someone has delivered one. The only critique I have is that the Canada on the fuselage should be in a serif font, almost like Times New Roman 😉

Bravo Venom0, very good work! Things seem to be inching closer to my dream of a "Snowbird" livery for the MB-339! (Hint hint). Also, please create a RCAF CF-104 livery for the Skunkworks TF-104 while you're at it (another hint!) LOL!!!!

Thanks for the mod... 795 was one of the aircraft I worked on back in the day, I think I was there when it was delivered from Mac Air... 😊

Thank you! Thanks for allowing us Canadians to have our fun with this in Flight Sim. Hope the other RCAF CF-18 liveries can find their way into the game also. It actually looks nice on the F-18, though have yet to fly proper. From the hanger it looks nice. Hope we can have Canada's 150th version also.

Thank you so much for completing the request, very well done and I'm definitely looking forward to the dirty version!! I'm surprised someone took up the job considering the coolest liveries are usually the American ones. Thanks again, good work!!

Well, I'm just about to upload one of my favorite (coolest) CAG Bird livery - it's that of VFA-137 Kestrels. Upload coming within a few minutes.

I appreciate you taking the time and effort in making this Livery. Unfortunately when I dropped the folder into my Community folder like all my other add ons it didn't show up as a choice in the Sim aircraft selection screens. Not sure why. (the Blue Angels and RAAF Liveries work fine).

There is a read me file in the folder. Read that first and you'll know exactly what to do.

Doesn't work in MSFS 2020. I dropped it into the community folder and it was not recognized in the liveries section. Please advise.

Drop the next folder in, the the main folder. 'RCAF CF-18' which has SimObjects, layout.json, & manifest.json within them. It does get a bit confusing with the way they zip it. Think of it as if these files are wearing two layers of jackets, you need to have them wear one.

I love how Canada paints the canopy on the bottom fuselage to confuse enemy pilots.

Thank you!
Any chance of a version with the modern RCAF livery? It isn't much different, it just says RCAF ARC next to the Roundel like so.

The closest font I found for the text is called 'RCAF_60O_ATH'
I've did the research for an RCAF livery I made for the F-35 for P3D, but the UV layout for the MSFS Hornet confused the hell out of me. If you need any fonts I can share them.

Flown it finally and I love how it looks and appears. Just as I've seen it personally, on TV, etc. Again, high respect for you making this Canadian texture. Hope you can tackle other Canadian liveries from NORAD to 150th, among others. No rush, just hyped. Thanks again o7

Rhino is the nickname for the F/A-18E or F Super Hornet, mainly because of the protruding nose cone that resembles the posture of a charging Rhinoceros.
