A FY82 F/A-18B serving Fleet Replacement Squadron Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT) 101 "Sharpshooters". The Hornet, seen here on its way to the runway of homebase El Toro, was transferred to the US Naval Flight Demonstration Squadron "Blue Angels" in 2000 and received tailnumber 7. It was damaged in 2008 but repaired and was eventually preserved at Detroit Science Museum (MI) in 2010 but moved to Chino's Yanks Air Museum in 2012.
