This Super Hornet was first seen with VFA-41 as NH-105 in early 2003. In late 2003, it was transferred to VFA-102 as NF-111. It flew as such until December 2009. It was then moved to VFA-122 as NJ-141 (as pictured). Strangely enough, it was last seen as such in September 2019. After that period it was not reported anymore, anyone?

Wow! A Super Hornet of VFA-122 'Flying Eagles' out of NAS Leemoore, since this day I call them the low Flying Eagles! This Hornet was very low and fast in the canyon and shortly afterwards put on the afterburner and climbed into the blue California sky. The camouflage fits well in this surrounding. Believe me, it was the experience of my trip to the States! Some people go to Wales for this stuff, I prefer the more sunny and warm conditions in California.
