Hot pit refueling of a VMFA-323 "Death Rattlers" Hornet at homebase El Toro. This Block 21 (Lot 9), fiscal year 1985 Hornet was delivered to the US Navy on 10 Mar'87 and served VFA-12. It was later transferred to VFA-161 and then to the USMC VMFA-323 (as pictured), VMFA-531, again VMFA-323, then VMFA-314 and returned to the US Navy in 1996 with the NSAWC. It again was moved to the USMC with VMFA-142 and sadly crashed during an 1v1 air combat manoeuvring mission near Comanche (TX) after it entered an uncontrolled low-rate flat spin on 3 December 1999. The pilot ejected safely

Three brand-new Hornets passed MCAS El Toro (CA) on this day during their delivery flight to MCB Kaneohe Bay (HI). This 163770/DB-01, ordered in FY87, had a USMC career from August 1989 onwards. It flew with VMFA-235, -232, 212, VMFAT-101, and was then transferred to the US Navy because the airframe was less-stressed in comparison with the US Navy carrier operated Hornets.  It flew with VFA-81, VFA-94 and VFA-106 before it was retired to AMARG on 30 June 2014.

This FY83 Hornet is seen during some line maintenance in one of the hangars at homebase El Toro. Its predecessors within VMFA-323 "Death Rattlers" are painted on the wall. 162434 flew during its career only with VMFA-323 and VMFA-112 as it crashed with the latter on 21 April 2004. The aircraft came into serious troubles when flying a night mission from MCAS Miramar. Some 119 miles from that base and 20 miles from MCAS Yuma (AZ) contact was lost with the aircraft and pilot over the Imperial Valley desert south of Glamis. The pilot got killed in this crash.

VT-28 at Corpus Christi, Texas flew the Tracker as a multi-engine trainer from 1960 until 1979 when the TS-2A was replaced by the T-44 Pegasus (King Air). Another photo shows that D-409 is BuNo 136446, D-440 is BuNo133328 and D-413 is BuNo 136497. Seen at Alameda, these aircraft have probably already finished their career with VT-28 here. 133328 is on record as going to the MASDC boneyard earlier that month, but was returned to service. Joe Baugher's US serials website doesn't have details for the other three. Photo by: Dave Maclean / National Archives at College Park, Maryland
