Photo Comment

A F/A-18D ordered in FY88. It was assigned to Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron (VMFAT) 101 as SH-151 (as pictured). It the flew as SH-251. The Hornert was transferred to the US Navy in late 1998 and served VFA-125 (as NJ-343, NJ-444) and was moved to VFA-122 in 2011 as NJ-444. It was last reported as such in 2016. The database then lost track of it. VMFAT-101 was disestablished as the last remaining F/A-18 Hornet training squadron in the US Navy and the Marine Corps on 29 September 2023.
