Hornet Ball 2015

[Gnarly Gnu]

"Every year, F/A-18C Hornet and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet squadrons across the West Coast get together. It's called the Strike Fighter Ball Pacific, and an important part of the event is the Hornet Ball, the annual video chronicling F-18 exploits throughout the year.

 

In the course of the video, a Hornet fires unguided Hydra 70 rockets at a towed barge, another live-fires an AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missile, and another fires an AIM-9 Sidewinder. Near the end of the video, one F-18 launches a Joint Stand Off Weapon and another tracks it. The video also appears to show air-to-ground operations against ISIS."
