McDonnell Douglas FA-18 Hornet (16-4009)
First photo of 16-4009 to be posted in the FA gallery. VMFAT-101 (Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 101) "Sharpshooters" F/A-18D.

"164009, D, VMFA(AW)-121, first night attack “D” delivered May 11, 1990."
VMFA(AW)-121, the first assignment of this F/A-18D Hornet, was Marine Fighter Attack Squadron (All Weather) 121, also known as the "Green Knights".
Somewhat interesting is that F/A-18 BuNo's 164008 and 164010, immediately preceding and following, were F/A-18C single-seat Hornets!
Evidently, "Lot 12" F/A-18 Hornet production was "mixed" with both single-seat C and and two-seat D variants.
