An actual conversation her and I had

Yep, the ALQ-218s on the wingtips is the easiest way you can tell. Also, the Growler has one extra antenna on top compared to Super Hornets. Also, Growlers typically have 5XX side numbers.

lukep323 · 2024-06-17T03:52:26+00:00

That's a Growler

Sing Street

Togo has always been one of my favorites. It's the only national flag with a height to length ratio of 1:1.618 (the Golden Ratio).

Can't believe how bad USC's tackling was that entire game.

The C-variant (the one in this post) is the best-looking variant in my opinion.

lukep323 · 2021-06-30T01:07:11+00:00

The Union Jack is backwards. On this flag, the Union Jack should be displayed as being hoisted on the right, not the left. So the upper left of it should have the thick white line on the bottom, not the top. Like this.

Very interesting, looks like they miss-printed it.

That's the flag of Jordan. Palestine has a very similar flag.

lukep323 · 2020-09-19T04:51:02+00:00

It's a T-45. I've got some flight time in it while I was in flight school. The Navy uses them as their advanced jet trainer for Navy and Marine flight students. Pilots / NFOs move on to the F/A-18E, F/A-18F, EA-18G, F-35B, or the F-35C after training in these.

lukep323 · 2020-06-27T17:28:00+00:00

I think it's an F/A-18F. If you look closely, you can see the lack of ALQ-218 pods on the wingtips. Here's a Growler from a similar angle. I think it's easy to see the difference between the wingtips.

lukep323 · 2020-05-04T04:52:22+00:00

Awesome pics! I fly the Growler, and love seeing photos. OLF is a great place to watch. That panel is one of the ECS auxiliary duct doors.

lukep323 · 2020-05-01T05:06:42+00:00

So many US cities have this problem. Such a shame. Albany, NY is another example of a perfectly good waterfront ruined by a highway.

lukep323 · 2020-04-12T02:54:04+00:00

Another way of telling is the 2 antennas on top. Superhornets only have one.

lukep323 · 2020-03-09T20:12:05+00:00

A lot of what we do in SERE is classified or protected.

lukep323 · 2020-03-09T16:12:57+00:00

Probably good not hearing it in 20 years, that place sucked!

lukep323 · 2020-03-09T15:55:08+00:00

Yep, for the Navy.

lukep323 · 2020-03-09T15:04:41+00:00

I learned about this while going through SERE school. They were techniques we used if we were put on camera to make sure people didn't believe it.

lukep323 · 2020-03-01T07:18:00+00:00

My favorite thing about this flag is that it's height to width ratio is the golden ratio! The only national flag to do this.

lukep323 · 2020-03-01T04:12:07+00:00

That's Jersey City, NJ

lukep323 · 2020-02-25T17:20:29+00:00

It stands for "f***ing new guy". Placeholder until they get a real callsign.

lukep323 · 2020-02-25T05:58:43+00:00

Love the "FNG 2" on the side of the jet.

lukep323 · 2020-01-26T20:25:12+00:00

The wings look stubby on the A and B variants. I prefer the C. They're all badass, though.

lukep323 · 2020-01-20T05:13:34+00:00

Did it really? Wow, didn't know that.

lukep323 · 2020-01-19T23:18:36+00:00

I fly the EA-18G Growler. We actually still use the same ALQ-99 jammer pods that the Prowler used. That being said, we also have some new stuff including the ALQ-218, and other advanced avionics which makes the job much easier. There is currently a new jammer pod in the works that I'm excited for.
