A 1989 ordered F/A-18D that was delivered to the US Marine Corps on 21 December 1990. The aircraft was assigned to the Sharpshooters directly after delivery and was sadly lost on 9 February 1997 when it crashed into the Yellow Sea 60 miles southwest of South Korea when deployed with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (All Weather) 121 to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
