GreyGhost Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Glad to have you Aboard ARC ... Fantastic photos ... I've noticed in a few photos of Black Lions jets, their radomes are darker than other squadrons, I wonder if this is due to them being AESA jets ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I bet it feels good to get in a brand new plane with that new car smell. :lol: I also never notice those dot looking things inside the exhaust nozzles until I saw this pic . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 If I remember correctly, those white dots are ceramic, & I think they cover hardware inside the nozzle or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackhawk7 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) A bit of info for the rivet counters out there looking to build an Aussie Super Hornet, unlike the first half of the fleet (A44-201 to -212), the second half (A44-213 to -224) have the lumps and bumps of a Growler on the fuselage for possible conversion later in life to EA-18G's. Seen here on -218 with blisters under the tail, above the serial and on the spine... -219 in the background would be the same. (Edit: this is not my picture but link to original source provided) Cheers, Tom Edited June 27, 2011 by blackhawk7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Great shots Chris! Here's a Foxtrot from VFA-122 that was pretty much brand-new as well. I don't think it's even been touched up yet. Aaron Edited June 27, 2011 by strikeeagle801 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VFA-103guy Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 The new 103 CAG bird rocks! It's got a few new changes to the markings, but the most obvious is the large bones on the tail and the centerline drop tank that is gloss black and has a special message on the underside that I can't reveal just yet. Of course the "Fear the Bones" logo is on both sides of the tank. Got a few pics from the squadron about 2 or 3 weeks ago after it was finished, and a good friend of mine got walk arounds of the jet for me and the guys at Fightertown about a week ago. Nice job to 103's CC dept! Although...I like the black intake cheverons better than the red ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Now I'm curious on how the tail code looks ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
