Hey all,
The McDonnall Douglas F/A 18 Hornet was well represented at the airshow this weekend. These are two aircraft from the Fleet air power demonstration. As they roared overhead, pyro charges simulated a bombing run. Very cool.
This is a F/A-18E Super Hornet. The larger size (25% increase) of the airframe is not readily apparent, but the larger rectangular jet intakes are certainly noticable. I can't help but wonder what that did for the "stealthy-ness" of the aircraft.

A F/A-18F (two seater) Super Hornet gets a welcoming wave from a fan after its run. The jet intakes are really obvious from the front. The Blue Angels fly the A and B (two-seater) variants with much smaller and rounded intakes.
The Super Hornet pilots wave back to the crowd. It's nice to be able to show our appreciation to the men and women who fly these beautiful jets and used them to protect the freedoms we all enjoy.
