Super Hornets rock! They and their MRF berthren F-16 Falcon have been the most flexible and useful milcraft in history.
I love the rest of them, but F-16 and F/A 18 are special in my heart.
Too darn bad I have acrophobia and bad eyes — in my heart I always wanted to be a pilot.
Jet: MRF ping (brother fighter to the Falcon)
I was originally a Marine Corps Aviation Officer Candidate. Until I got to the MEPS in Atlanta, where they told me my eyeballs weren’t any good.
So I enlisted as a Bandsman instead. Probably a better decision in the long run.
