Careful who you ask that around, if he's in the Air Force it'll probably cause a storm of cussing and yelling about how the Rhino driver violated TFR's and broke the 1000 foot bubble around the Raptor just to get a "snapshot" gun camera shot as bragging rights instead of flying the mission profile.
Rhinos were Red Air flying against the Raptors is about the only confirmable thing about these photos. Again its very he said she said depending on which service you talk to. This came up over on F-16.net and the Navy/Bug bashing that insued was just crazy.
Well...
On a different, but entirely more important note, I would like to know why jake grafton, with the same number of posts as me, has three times the reputation. After all of the beautiful little nuggets of wisdom I have imparted. All of you who gave me "virtual rep points" while the rep system was down saddle up and pay up!

Shall I give you negative rep for asking for rep?

You're fvcked now...
I suspect the information is outdated since you, the operator, is saying otherwise … but here is what my “source” wrote on page 6, Mar-Apr 2007 ed of Naval Aviation News …
Super Hornet Weapons Tested
The Air Force’s Arnold Engineering Development Center, Arnold AFB, Tenn., conducted a wind tunnel test of the F/A-18E/F in late December 2006 to certify the Super Hornet to carry new weapons. Store separation characteristics of the AGM-84H SLAM-ER, the AGM-88 HARM, and 14 other stores, in addition to testing the carriage load characteristics of the SLAM-ER, were evaluated.

There's your problem. The AGM-84 is a Harpoon, cousin of SLAM-ER. HARM is AGM-88.
Brett
Affirm. Rhino can carry HARM. Still in the process of evaluating the SLAM-ER (though we can carry the AWW-13 pod to guide it)
Brett ... typo on my part
Fly & Turn ... like I said, I have no reason to not believe the operators, you fellas would know 'cause I don't ... I was just regurgitating (bad) info

After some research the Rhino was built to carry all the same weapons as the Legacy hornet. The issue has just simply been awaiting testing and release clearance to carry mixed loadouts etc, due to pylon design(canted). I just talked to an old buddy at PAX River and he confirmed...the Rhino has flight clearance to carry and realease HARM.
EA-18G Shocker....woo hoo. He also passed right now the G is 4 g limited until further testing is completed due to wingtip loadouts and wing flutter. Interesting fact.
