F/A-18D USMC

Thanks. I was wondering about the MER, I have some documentation but wasn't sure how good it was. Its in the trash now.

MERs are not part of the normally authorized loadout on USN/USMC Hornets

You probably want a Litening FLIR pod on station 4.  2xGBU-12 or GBU-16 dual-loaded on BRU-33 racks on 2,3,7 & 8. A fuel tank at 5.   Optional Sparrow or AMRAAM at 6  

This symetrical configuration limits the  field of view of the FLIR. A unique 'ugly duckling' load may be to leave 5 empty and replace the bombs on 7 with the tank.   This opens the FOV to the right

I have a night attack -D in the stash too. The best I can say from looking at pics, is that the pair of bombs on the hard points is more commonly seen...

There are also some interesting, non-sysmetical loadouts too!
