Description
I have left this F-18 in a large format for anyone wanting to zoom-in and look at the details for modeling purposes.
neiwil and several others have said that ground shots like this are useful for getting proportions right... particularly of the pilots.
Have fun with this one Neil.
Thanks to all for your comments. Love hearing from you.
Bill
P.S. Not a lot of contrast between the color of the sky and the aircraft...but that's the way the Navy likes it :-)

The green fringe of distant trees should help establish the essential shapes/proportions, Bill. Nice pic.
Worth a zoom, this is a great capture of this "bird".
I knew this airplane as the Northrup P-530 "Cobra" when an Indonesian exchange pilot brought some performance charts to Douglas in 1968. Then it was only a HIPAAS twin engine selection when McDonnell decided to drop work on the single engine light weight fighter. Once the F-18 was won with a complete redesign of the YF-17 prototype that lost the USAF LWF competition Douglas hoped to manufacture the wing but it also went to St. Louis. I worked on a model of a twin for the NAVY basic training mission but it was decided to use a British HAWK on license.
Good shot. Well done.
Great shot Bill, you even got the exhaust of the bird. Good show. Skipper62
Excellent shot. Thanks!
Great work!!!
Nice work mate! Lovely big picture... Still not running properly yet. Soon be back! Take care, Rob.
Very nice!!
Amazing shot,splendid!!:-)
Sleek and beautiful plane. Great shot.
Nicely done.
Good shot, cool plane... Although I still tend to think of the Super Hornets as "Tomcat wannabe's" :)
Stellar capture of the Y-tailed jet as it taxis along the runway. I hadn't noticed before that the nosewheel was set so far back on the fuselage.
Beautiful image, well done !!!
So crisp and detailed. Fine work.
I bet the light blue color is hard to spot at high elevations, but radar sees all.outstanding capture
Thanks Bill...another very useful shot.I don't do too many 'fast movers' but I think I've got one of these in the hard drive somewhere.From the cockpit forward this puts me in mind of an F-15??.May be just the angle but it looks 'squashed' as if it should be longer in the body but it's been 'backended'.Still an outstanding bird and an excellent capture.Thanks again mate.
This aircraft has been famous this week for all the wrong reasons!
