Is the lower aft portion of the bones a separate stencil and I'm seeing some clear film that's not flat against the stab? Edited May 3, 2019 by Slartibartfast Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Collin Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Nice belly shot of a relatively clean, land based Charlie USMC Hornet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Collin Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 Someone forgot to tape off the nose during tough up painting I guess. Cheers Collin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 You mean the line demarcation on the nose? No, it's the typical "sunburn" caused by the AESA radar, it's a pretty useful sign to know if the a/c is AESA equiped or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spike72 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Appears VFA-87 has joined VFA-31 in CVW-11, with VFA-97 joining CVW-8 along with -34 and -37 as they transition to Supers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I completely lose tracks, too many CVW changes. hi-res: Seems the BK are still in the CVW-11: Quote GULF OF ALASKA (May 14, 2019) Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) stand next to an F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the “Black Knights” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 154 before beginning flight operations while participating in Exercise Northern Edge 2019. So CVW-11: USS Theodore Roosevelt. Modex 1**: VFA-154 Modex 2**: VFA-31 Modex 3**:? Modex 4**: VFA-87 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
