F/A-18F 'Super Hornet' from the Naval Air Station China Lake, CA. VX-31 DD. 214. sn 16566. Lt Evan 'Butters' Lundstrom; MR Greg 'GG' Glen CTE. Plane Captains: Erick Concepcion.

The forward fuselage is unchanged, but the remainder of the aircraft shares little with earlier F/A-18C/D models. The fuselage was stretched by 34 inches to make room for fuel and future avionics upgrades and increased the wing area by 25%. However, the Super Hornet has 42% fewer structural parts than the original Hornet design. The General Electric F414 engine, developed from the Hornet's F404, has 35% additional thrust over most of the aircraft's flight envelope. -Wikipedia
