Nice.
My boy was in California with the Thunderbirds, they trained for a week with the Blue Angels or something.
He said the F18 is a lot different, as far as the joystick controls.

I was stationed in PCola for awhile and watched them practice often. I met a few of the Marine pilots on the team. I never worked with Hornets but had a lot of buddies who did. We were envious on how fast you could change their engines.

When they do the air show here in Corpus Christi they fly right over my house and low too.It is an amazing thing to see.Their flight skills and timing is amazing.One wrong move could be catastropic.
