This is a first-time photo of both the Knighthawk (167838) and the Super Hornet (165805) to be posted into the FA picture gallery. I have individual closeup shots of both that I will try to post later.

Dave ... Wassup? Watch your e/m for a pic of an RAAF colorbird. 6 Squadron CO's E/A-18G is super-lookin'!
