Hmm, what else have I to offer? I'm enjoying looking through this thread as I never tire of seeing the F/A-18 being displayed. I always think it makes a more photogenic display than the F-15 or F-16.

Sanicole (Evening/ Night show), Swiss for a change :grin:

Now back to the RAAF

and finally the Finnish Air Force

I'm going to have to really dig deep into my collection to find some Spanish, Canadian or USMC/ USN Hornet shots

Some of the stuff on there that gets featured and attracts comments/likes into the hundreds or thousands baffles me. I think it's more about adding a zillion other photographers as 'friends' than any real quality tbh.

Anyway, in an attempt to remain on topic, have a Super Hornet.
