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.
