Arriving on Thursday from the USS Saratoga for Mildenhall's Annual Air Fete. According to Joe Baugher's excellent website, this Hornet was involved in a mid-air collision with an F-14 while operating from USS Saratoga in February 1994. The F-14 crashed, the F/A-18 landed with some damage. This photo is copyright © Lewis Grant, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
