Forum rules
 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Cool to see a Miramar based sq halfway around the world showing the colors. 323 did an especially great job on their CAG bird. Note the diamonds on the fin flash show 3-2-3. IIRC, the Death Rattlers will be the last USMC squadron flying the legacy Hornet.

Isn't this an EP-3A, behind Hornet 405 ?

Indeed. It arrived from Rota on the 2nd but it went tech, so it remained on the ground for a few days.
It's 160764.
