FA-18F 'Super Hornet' from the Naval Air Station China Lake, CA. VX-31 'The Dust Devils' (DD). Aircraft 214. sn 165669.

The Super Hornet is a redesign of the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. The wing and tail configuration trace its origin to a Northrop prototype aircraft, the P-530, c. 1965, which began as a rework of the lightweight Northrop F-5E with a larger wing, twin tail fins and a distinctive leading edge root extension, or LERX. Later flying as the Northrop YF-17 'Cobra', it competed in the United States Air Force's Lightweight Fighter (LWF) program to produce a smaller and simpler fighter to complement the larger McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle; the YF-17 lost the competition to the YF-16. -Wikipedia
