Under clear blue skies at a public static display, this original colour photograph captures the imposing presence of a US Navy Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, tail code AD-275, belonging to Strike Fighter Squadron 106 (VFA-106)–also known as the âGladiators.â With its folded wings, red engine covers, and twin-seat cockpit open to viewers, the aircraft embodies the flexibility and precision of Americaâs modern naval aviation force.
This is a genuine 6 x 4 inch photograph, professionally printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper, offering archival-quality colour and detail. It is a true period original, not a digital reproduction. Minor evidence of previous handling (numbering and double-sided tape on reverse) does not detract from its decent collector-grade condition, verified through internal QC. The markings of VFA-106 and the Hornetâs classic shape are clearly displayed in this high-quality image.
Ideal for collectors of modern US Navy jets, carrier-borne aviation, or F/A-18 history, this photograph offers a tangible slice of the postâCold War evolution of naval strike capability. VFA-106 plays a key role in training future Hornet pilots and weapons officers–a mission reflected in the clean, presentational look of this striking aircraft.
