    Of all Hornets in service worldwide, the Swiss have always maintained theirs the best in terms of their appearance. They look absolutely mint, and I really like their bespoke steely blue/grey colour.

      The Hornets already have internal cracks in the wings and fuselage. That’s why the new F-35s are so important. No one knows how long the F/A-18s can still fly.

    Usually I feel like plane spotting videos of any kind are mostly meh.. but this video is far from meh! The multiple angles, the hi res video, the smooth panning never letting g the aircraft leave the frame.. this is by far the best video of plane spotting I've found to date.

    Lot of lessons from swiss air force using a naval fighter. They last much longer without the hard life in a boat. Seems like the Swiss guys fly in a clean configuration leaving the wings without all that heavy loads we usually see in the Navy.
    The only down from the Legacy it is the drag. He can't accelerate as fast like Tomcat as example, and has a kind of short legs with internal fuel. But their country isn't that big anyway. I think it was the perfect choice.
