This an F/A-18C Hornet, flown by the US Navy. Fighter Squadron 94 was commissioned at N.A.S. Alameda, California in 1952. Nicknamed the Mighty Shrikes, the squadron was named after a small carnivorous bird of prey that impales its victim on sharp thorns. The Mighty Shrikes began flying the F4-U Corsair, but quickly transitioned to jet aircraft. For the next five years, the squadron received and flew the F7-U7, FJ-3, F9-F8, F8-U1, F11-F1 Tiger and FJ-4. On June 18th 1990, the Mighty Shrikes received their first FA-18C.
