This Hornet was part of the US Navy Fiscal Year 1982 budget. It was withdrawn from use in early 1994 and stored at North Island. The aircraft was struck of charge in September 2000 and most probably scrapped. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
