I took 1.7 million photos over 6 days to catch this photo of a commercial jet in front of the sun.
The moment it happened, TWO floating prominences were visible, making this not just my best aircraft transit photo, but one of the luckiest of my career! Videos of the transit 👇
So here is the video of how we painted the F-18D Devilfish for MALS-11 at MCAS Miramar. Hard to cover 11 days in 3 mins but here it is. #america250#usmc 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐙🐙
Too good not to share! Submitted by a good friend of ours — a pair of Bones launching during Red Flag 21-1. That combat departure absolutely goes hard! 🔥 🇺🇸
Ok here it is! Say hello to Devilfish and her tribute to America’s 250th birthday!
This aircraft came out of preservation and will go to VMFA-323 in June. BUNO 165532 represents the Marines of MALS-11. The CO LtCol Alex “Python” Monte was totally on board when I presented this design to them. I was so excited!! I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time.
This F-18D will fly with 323 until 2027 and then it will fly with VFMA-232 until 2028.
This was a massive job and I couldn’t have done it without Dave Nenna. Our teamwork for the last 11 days was great. We also had the help of Marvin Collier a Marine who knew what he was doing and a key part of getting this done. We also put 13 stars on the backbone.
Thanks so much for the hospitality of the Marines here and letting us tag this jet with pride and honor!
We can’t wait to see it fly!
Later I will do a video of the painting process.
What a huge job! We did it!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This woman went to visit this dog shelter that apparently most people don’t know even exists.
She was fortunate to go right when they were set to have their play time.
Look at all those beautiful dogs who just want a hug. 💔
This shelter gets no visitors and has less than 5 adoptions each month. Less than 5!
Let’s help rescue these dogs and clear their shelter. They are in a rural part of Georgia.
Do you know someone looking for a dog? Anyone in Georgia or close by? Or maybe you are due for an overdue road trip?
El Presidente Javier Milei visitó el portaaviones estadounidense USS Nimitz en el marco de los ejercicios navales Passex 2026, que se desarrollan en el Atlántico Sur. La actividad incluyó una demostración aérea de aviones F/A-18 Hornet y helicópteros MH-60 Seahawk.
VANDY1
We’ve only had the fortune of seeing VANDY1 a couple times. Each one was amazing! VX-9 Vampire F/A-18F is pure darkness against the blue skies and white clouds.

The museum's single-seat F15A, nicknamed "Streak Eagle," broke eight time-to-climb world records between Jan. 16 and Feb. 1, 1975. In setting the last of the eight records, it reached an altitude of 98,425 feet just 3 min: https://t.co/bSCAo3O2w8
