Rarely photographed are the Kuwait Air Force F/A-18C/Ds. The aircraft were only once seen in public outside Kuwait, at Fairford '93 as a thank for the Gulf War support to Kuwait. But before the bi-annual Kuwait Aviation Show at Kuwait International Airport in 2018, the Kuwaiti were quite closed with showing their hardware. In 2020, the KAS is planned again, and for sure some Hornets will be seen. This 25sq Hornet was seen at its homebase al Jaber.
