The difference between the F-18 and the CF-18 is that light. Canada does a lot of operations for NORAD and that spotlight allows them to identify aircraft tail numbers ect; when it's dark.
Great thanks I could not figure out what that was !!

Man that 17 is a beauty! One of my all time favs right there :borat:
The demo, which you all know by now, at FRG was cancelled. I talked to a Cobra pilot at Eisenhower and he toldQuote:

AND I just got to FRG in time. JUST in time. Parked by the Crazy Donkey and walked down 110 just as they came
sweeping across from the NE.
Then checked out the "Meet and Greet" which was pretty cool.
Considering making my first visit to FRG tomorrow to see the assembled hardware. Where's the best place to park and see the ramp where all of the military is stationed?
Mateo, I recommend going to the American Airpower Museum. Pay the fare to get in and walk out onto the ramp where you can see just about everything. I was there most of the morning yesterday and had a blast!
Would anybody happen to know when the two US Navy F/A-18's are leaving as well as the CAF-18's? Thanks.
I think the Navy guys left this afternoon, don't have a definite time for the CF-18, I think I heard around 10:30am Monday.
Thanks Moose. Appriciate it
I heard 10:30 also.
Heard from the team directly.
10:30 departure.
10am. One Caf18 is gone. Painted tail still here. Golden nights loading up now trying to figure out which runway looks like 19 for departures. Arresting gear being disasembled.
2 A-10's and the Golden Knights just took off. Still waiting onm the CAF18
