Hello,

I have a question: I saw a F-18F picture on the next page: http://www.touchdown-aviation.com/images/reports/riat06/maxi/5128.htm
and I don\\\'t know what there are 2 times 5 something knobs on its tail between the tail-fins.
Are they extra inlet or something other?

Thanks for your answer

I worked on the F/A-18 at Northrop El Segundo. I had a Lucite, paperweight thing with a chip or scrap from the milling of the first part of the first F/A-18, well about 6 mos ago I went to visit a friend at Hawthorne Northrop Grumman plant and left it for 2 mins and came back and someone had stole it!

If you know anyone who might have one to buy, sell, trade please let me know! Thanks

I collect these from other aircraft as well, and might be interested, but the F/A-18 really holds the place in my history...thanks!

WANTED Lucite / Acrylic/ Perspex Paperweights
WANTED Lucite / Acrylic/ Perspex Paperweights mainly aviation related....many may say they have a “First Chip” in example “ First Chip from the milling process of the YF-23” or F-16 or something like that, many are from planes, missiles etc…
Some examples. McDonnell Douglas C-17 Production Shaving Lucite Paperweight, First F-22 Production Chip Lucite in the shape of the state of Georgia, containing production chip / shaving any project! See link for photos

Another type are made from metals, materials & alloys used in the aircraft's manufacture they have “this is a example of the aluminum alloy used in making the B-52, they are about the size of a pack of cigarettes, see link to photos

REMEMBER-I pay a finders fee; please pass this around to anyone who may be able to help… Thanks from Charles!

The EF-18G electronic-warfare version of the 'F' has gotta come into service quicker. That EA-6B is sorely out of date. The EF-18 is just a fighter version equipped with pods and ecm right? Then why does it require up to 2009 for an initial operating capability

The VFA-102 F/A-18F photo below is from the VF-102 homecoming in March 2002. This photo is actually mine and does not belong to the credited poster, Steve & Cori Galeener of Bellflower California. While I'm happy that others enjoy my images and like to share them I still do believe in keeping my images as my own. Please see my naval aviation site for more:
