Title: Australia day FA-18 flypast
Post by: mick on January 25, 2007, 09:25:51 pm

I got lucky today, right place right time! 4 of these beauties did a lap of the bay, and luckily passed right over my head!

Wow, great pics of the F/A-18 Hornet.  I actually have an old simmulator program/game (1995)  for the F/A-18 and, an updated version (2002).  Been playing that quite a bit.
