E-2 Hawkeye plus 2 F/A-18 Super Hornets?

Looks more like Vipers to me, but I guess the Hornets make more sense to be with a Hawkeye.

The wings aren’t delta-y enough for a viper

I just can't see anything about those that looks like an f-16.

XenoRyet@reddit

Damn, this sub really doesn't like mistaken guesses, does it?

In any case, I thought I would be able to see the twin tails, even from this angle, and in the blurriness of the picture I thought I saw the single belly intake rather than the two of the Hornet.

Again, clearly I was wrong, and people feel pretty strongly about that, but that's what I was looking at.

You replied to a correct guess with an incorrect guess. Of course you got downvoted.

XenoRyet@reddit

I'm not really concerned with the downvotes, but in fairness, I just said that's what it looks like to me and also conceded that the previous guess made more sense.

I'm not mad, just surprised. That's maybe the strongest response to what I thought would be the most innocuous of comments that I've seen in quite a while.

F16 has an almost unbroken curve from the nose to the wing root. F18s has leading edge extensions that break that simple curve back from the nose.

It's Reddit. I once suggested that someone that said they're a dentist on Reddit shouldn't be as influencial as a states governing dental body, and took a beating. I'll never financially recover from it.

Comment so that anyone here can downvote as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/s/3KMJategTV

Heh, I feel like I should go downvote it just on principle. ;-)

But yeah, I've got several dump trucks full of karma, and it never did a damn thing for me, so I'm not worried about it.

I made a mistake on another sub. Admitted my mistake and still got slammed. At least these dudes are being slightly civil. Be confidently wrong in some of these subs will have someone putting a hit out on your dog.

The purpose of downvotes is to bury content that is incorrect, off topic, etc.

[-]

BagOfMoneyNoChange@reddit

You posted something obviously wrong on reddit. Confidently incorrect. Downvotes ensued.

The system is working as designed.

It’s 2 Super Hornets and a Hawkeye. They’re doing static displays at the Lone Star Flight Museum as part of Fleet Week. I spent enough time working on a Flight Deck, and on Naval Air Stations/Facilities that those silhouettes are pretty obvious to me.

I was a Tomcat guy, but I do have a special place in my heart for all things Grumman.

BuffsBourbon@reddit

I was paddles. I’ve got a special place in my heart for the Big Fighter SHB in blower.

Also the cat shot-hunch - sexy AF

I did a cruise as a Cag Arm TL on the Waist.. nothing beats that Tomcat rumble when you’re close enough to slap the wing as it goes past on the Cat Shot.

I was a .50 cal gunner on the 05-06 TR cruise at mount 51, way up at the end of the catapult... having Tomcats take off directly over my head at zone 5 is one of the core memories of my Navy experience :')
