Photo Comment

This F/A-18E was after delivery assigned to VX-9 as XE-131, at least up to mid-2010. Then it was transferred to the Naval Air Warfighting Development Centre (pronounced at NAW-DIK). In June 2015 the NAWDC was redesignated into the Naval Air Warfare Center (pronounced as EN-SOCK) and the Rhino was likewise transfereed. The F/A-18E was transferred to the fleet in 2022, and got assigned to VFA-137 (AJ-110).
