sundowner Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 on the 17th of Sept we were allowed to visit VFA-125 thanks to the PAO of VFA-125 "Gonky" 1604062 NJ-365 acc to our guide the pilots name was misspelled ....... 162886 one of few "A+" Hornets assigned to the Rough Raiders F/A-18B 162864 is one of many Adversary Hornets of VFA-125 , unfortunally only the 3 tone grey example was on the ramp. And finally the Hornet , were we came for ....."CASPER" F/A-18B 162885 NJ-401 curiously enough the pilots of VFA-125 don't have a clue , how interesting this White Jet is for us aviation enthousiasts .
