In front of its hangar, this Dust Devils F/A-18C is furnished in a "100 years US Navy" colourscheme. The nice Hornet is a F/A-18C-50 and was delivered in 1997 to the US Navy. First assigned as AB-301 with VFA-82 may97, later as AA-201 and AA-401 with VFA-34. From early 2006 as AG-413 with VFA-131 and then NE-414 with again VFA-34 from early 2007. After an overhaul at NADep North Island in 2010, the aircraft appeared in this scheme from February 2011.
