Shots from inside and outside NAF El Centro of Hornets and Growlers launching and recovering.

Many thanks goes out to the El Centro PAO Michelle, the Sailors that took us around for our shots, Fencecheck, André, and of course the Pilots for making this possible. To see our pics visit http://nellisspotters.com/NAFEC.html

  • Are you going to the air show in March?

  • Probably Not. Its not that good of a show.

  • I wish I would have been there. Stupid me....I was in Yuma with nothing to do and not motivated enough to drive to El Centro.

  • You didn't miss much.

  • very nice video dude

  • i saw the canadian Hornets in a military base near my city ,and it was great ,it wasnt growlers or super hornet ,we have the hornets

  • The planes with the square intakes are F/A-18E (singe seat) or -F (twin seat) Super Hornets and the planes with the rounded intakes are an older model, the F/A-18A/C (single seat) or -B/-D (twin seat) Hornet.

  • Is it my eyes doing tricks on me? Does one plane have rounded intakes and the other square intakes. Is this a way to distinguish between the two planes?

  • That must be awesome!

  • have you ever been on a carrier?

    i did the friends and family day on the harry s truman and holy crap..

    you really dont know how loud those things really are until they are sitting still with full afterburner 60 feet away from your head.. lol

  • Very similar to the F/A-18F, its going to be called the E/A-18G Growler.

  • So I take it that this is the bird that will replace the Prowler?

  • is our missile out matched by chinese fighter plane missiles? do we have new missiles up and coming? is USAF AIR SUPREMACY THREATENED ????????

  • Are you going to Binghamton in a couple weeks?
