As part of the new updated recruiting strategy. The NAVY introduced it's new “Drop Top” F/A-18 Hornet, in an effort to appeal to a new sport minded demographic.
Joking aside – I figured I would share this with you guys. Here is the accompaning caption:
“Two F/A-18 Hornets from Top Gun were dogfighting, and made a head-on pass just a bit too close. One got home with part of the left wing and left vertical fin and rudder missing, while the other jet is missing everything forward of the cockpit pressure bulkhead - and is a flying convertible because the canopy is shattered too. These guys are pretty lucky. It shows just how rugged these aircraft are.”
If anybody is interested – I have two more pictures of the other Hornet that was involved.
