🦏💨 West Coast Rhino Demo Team with a high speed low pass
🛩️ Aircraft: 🇺🇸 Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet, twin-engine, twin-seat, carrier-capable multirole 4th generation fighter
🌀 Powerplant: 2x General Electric F414-GE-400 afterburning turbofans
🗂️ S/N: 165927
🛠️ C/N: F073
💡 Fun fact: F/A-18 only has 6000 flight hours of service life without any extensions. Compare it to a design lifespan of a Boeing 737 which is 5500 hours. This shows how demanding and punishing on the airframe combat and carrier operations are
