    That is the USMC. They just took delivery of the first 2 of 30 from Boeing. Boeing having refurbished them to the F/A-18C+ standard.

    That web site wasn't working too well for me but the few shots that loaded were taken at USAF museum in Dayton. One of the best. Everything there is in flyable condition
