Ah, so happy to see some shipmates take to the skies of the Centennial State this past weekend.

Flying the F/A-18F Super Hornet, the West Coast Rhino Demo Team from NAS Lemoore put on a heck of a show with afterburners blazing. This is the same type of jet the Blue Angels fly now and is far more capable than the original Hornet.

Oh, and just so there is no doubt, USN > USAF.  Anytime, baby!
