Title: All Black F-18
Post by: Bodhi on April 25, 2007, 03:18:17 PM
Anyone ever seen one?  I saw one today, but was not close enough to tell what unit or anything like that.  Curious if any one else has seen one???  :noid

UN, the slightly less stealthy big brother to the black helicopters.  Either that, or it's for the PsiCop Black Omega Squadron.

VX-4 Black Bunnies


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VX-4



Had black F-14's back in the day running out of Pt. Mugu, but were since disestablished and transferred over to VX-9. Not sure who uses black now.

Wouldn't his black jet be identifiable by the red scorpion on the vertical stabilizer?

I have one hanging above me not too far from the computer :)

Guessing it's a VX-4 bird though since they had the Black F4s and F14s too.

I just spent about 40 minutes looking and didnt find any real Black F-18's.  I did run across a model of a black F-18 for VFA-103 Jolly Rogers...
