It started as a fleet F/A-18A and served squadrons like VFA-132, VFA-25, Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) VFA-125 and then arrived with the Naval Strike Air Warfare Center, that later became the Naval Air Warfighting Development Center. Here the NSAWC Hornet is seen in sorry state, missing parts and ejection seat. It was last reported in early 2018, fate ?
