Heading a line-up of ten Hornets from VMFA-321 sitting by the roadside at RAF Leuchars on a warm summer's day. This was the third such biennial deployment to the Fife base by the "Hell's Angels" which took place between 1996 and 2000 and was always held in high regard by the participating crews. Scanned from a print.

It looks like this is the new way of protecting the stored aircraft from the desert environment. It took me a while to find out the identity of this aircraft, but with the help of the AMARC code I managed to get it. Previous operator of this Hornet was the Naval Strike & Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) based at NAS Fallon, NV.

On 8 Nov'86, the Blue Angels completed their 40th anniversary year and unveiled what would be their aircraft through their 75th anniversary year, the F/A-18A/B. Here, a A is going for a new display in their first year of Hornet ops. 161523 is a FY80 a/c which was seen from late '91 at the dump of the Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility Albuquerque (NM). Here it was used in an investigation programme in which aircraft-weapon interfaces were researched to provide USN aircraft with nuclear weapons delivery capability. It was stored at AMARC (1A0008) from 3 May'95 and was scrapped on 12 Sep'18.
