Nice pics rander. Would you happen to know if taht is an A+ hornet? or is it just an A. My question for that is because i thought A+'s had IFF (bird slicer) antennas on the nose.

rander

With out gettting up close to the aircraft I could not tell. I do recall that not every F-18 had those bird slicer antennas. I recall when I worked in Building 94 that there were 2 successive BUNO aircraft in the hanger for overhaul, I had them and one did not.
