Poster Worthy! Nice Catch...

I see it's from VFA-106 "Gladiators" (http://jcbeckman.zenfolio.com/p718415859/h4d57522#h4d57522) which we just shot at El Centro this past Thursday...

Very crisp shot, is this a crop at all?

I shot this at 250mm and cropped about 15% mostly off the top and bottom edge, but nothing drastic.
Thanks

I was a little surprised to see a Super Hornet in the marking of VFA-106. All the ones we shot at El Centro were the F/A-18C and D models; legacy Hornets.

I Googled VFA-106 and determined the Gladiators are the fleet replacement squadron for the east coast, so it makes sense they would fly both Hornets and Super Hornets. They are based at NAS Oceana and were a little far from home at El Centro.
