Hello, friends. Greetings from Russia.:) I'm looking for detailed photos (side view, top view) of these planes. I'm interested in camouflage of these planes. Thanks for the help!

I can give you some of the best cockpit photos I have come across but it's also a quiet forum with a passion for hornets. You need to join, it's free:

They aren't the best and are basic, viewed from the side only which you may have already found but just in case.

 

 

 

 

But maybe you'll find better results whit searching for the information that is stated below the aircraft on the first two images.

Thank you. I saw these drawings. I found something on these planes.

Friends! Has anyone seen pictures of this airplane? I can not understand what is written in these places.

On the back it's "USS Harry S. Truman"

 

The one on the front is really difficult, I've searched for VFA-83 and found this:

 

I'd say it's "CAPT. 'BEAMS' B???? DEAG

[Flаnker]

On the back it's "USS Harry S. Truman"

 

Thank you. I saw planes of this squadron with another inscription.

 

 

I'd say it's "CAPT. 'BEAMS' B???? DEAG

 

It seems to me on the airplane another name

Pilot of the livery with the all blue stabilizers is Capt Norbert Szarleta CAG. Judging by the length of the name on the back, my guess it's the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

VFA-83 was stationed on that ship a few times.

 

The second one is flown by Capt 'Beavis' Bixby DCAG, USS Harry S. Truman.

Thank you very much! :thumbup:

I'd swear it says, "Capt. BEAVIS."

I'd swear it says, "Capt. BEAVIS."

 

2nd aircraft, yes, it does. That's the pilot's callsign.

 

Here's an F/A-18F with the same name:

Hello, friends! I once again need your help.:) I'm looking for the pilot's name for this airplane and the emblem on the fuel tank

 

Maybe someone saw good photos of this Hornet...

 

VMFA-323 "Death Rattlers", Serial : 164698.

If you look at the paint wishlist thread on the DCS F/A-18C forum, I posted a bunch of pics of Kuwaiti F/A-18Cs, enjoy!

Hi

the emblem on the tank is the Death Rattlers snake, you can see it on this (ugly) image

 

I couldn't find a better pic with the emblem itself...

Kinda tacky to call this ugly. It's a characature and it intentionally distorts the lines.

 

The artist is a friend of mine and he's very, very good at aviation art. He does these for fun and on request from the squadrons / pilots and actually sells a great many prints.

The names definitely change over time and unfortunately, both sides will usually have a different one. If you're trying to be 100% correct, it might be quite of a pain in the ass. There are names on the front ldg door too by the way ;)

 

Here's a photo from 2008 with LTCOL R. C. FRIEDMAN "BOO" on the port side.

 

After some googling, the photo you posted should read MAJ GEN T. L. CONANT ?? MAW, not sure about what's there in front of MAW. CO? FO? Usually, you can google these names or abbreviations to figure out the corrent spelling.

 

This photo from 2010 has COL K. J. KILLEA with the rest kinda hard to read. It's also 400, not 200.

 

In case I find something concrete, I'll post it here.
