I am extremely heartbroken. This was my favorite jet growing up. It was so beautiful with its huge, skinny nose and tail like a giant W

[@MarvinBoydCo]

Now the Legacy Hornet is going away... I'm getting old! And where did the Naval Aviation that I know disappear to... Prowler, Intruder, Corsair II, Mighty Tomcat and now legacy Hornet...😥
