Sierra Tango Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 In December of 2017 DFW Airport hosted the annual Aviation Expo that was held on the American Airlines Hangar 5 ramp (formerly the Delta Airlines hangar). One of the aircraft brought in for display was this F/A-18A+ that was the CO’s aircraft for VMFA-112. I thought it looked interesting in that here was a Hornet with some color on it. 162848 was a F/A-18A+ (though it was marked as a F/A-18A++) that was assigned to VMFA-112 until 2019. Was pleased to learn that earlier this year Print Scale decals released a 1/72 scale sheet for this aircraft as well as a F/A-18C from the same unit that was marked as the CO’s aircraft. Hope you enjoy these. Steve 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Tango Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 That's awesome! I remember well their F-4Ns and F-4Ss before they converted to F/A-18s. Wish I had more shots of their Phantoms. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
