First air show shoot

Hmm. Interesting. If those are Canuck, are they old Hornets? I don't think Canada got the Super Hornets. I can't tell unless they are both in the same picture. The Supers are noticeably bigger.

The air show announcer specifically said the Canadian F-18's were not Super Hornets.

You mean they aren't flying F-104s anymore?

Super hornets were purchased back in the invasion of Afghanistan era. Not sure what date. The super hornets have those square air scoops for the engines. Some globe and mail(Newspaper sold to all provinces) users were very angry the government got none stealth fighter aircraft.

Most likely nose numbers 125 and 932 are older models. It looks like the tail number on 932 starts with 188, which would make it a CF-18. 188xxx could also be a super hornet, but these aircraft look pretty old, so most likely the older variants.

Nice set.
