How many of them were up birds?
That's an embarrassing park job by the SAR bird.

And here's a couple I like (it is after all, a new day)
Off the coast of Liberia en route to the USS Iwo Jima during the 26 MEU in 2003. I like it mainly because I'm at the controls (you can see my helmet barely), and it was my cherry HAC ride.
A Phrog from HMM(may she rest in peace, and find success as a VMM)-162 landing at the Al Qatranah Range, Jordan during the 26 MEU in 2005.

Absolutely the first thought that entered my mind.

All the best, Spike
I thought we* just had to "sound good" around the boat...and look good in the Ready room?
* NFOs

*we = NFOs
But I thought you guys "flew", too.........
Gotta take the bad with the good.
Naaaaahhh.... they look "O.K." .... it's just loose parade. Give 'em a break.
Tighten up when it counts -- relax when you can. That's if you wanna fly long and live long.

080402-N-8923M-113 PERSIAN GULF (April 2, 2008) F/A-18F Super Hornets assigned to the "Swordsmen" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 32 fly near the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) during flight operations. U.S. Navy photo by Seaman Kevin T. Murray Jr. (Released)
Now that's just a waste of a perfectly good Air-to-Air platform (F/A-18F). I guess you could drop a drop tank on a Bear or Badger! Gotta have my HAVAP!!

Haze Gray and underway
Hmm, looks like a no-fly day (except for one helo)...wonder what the crafty JOs are doing to amuse themselves???

Another PAO misidentification
Seems like triple bubble Super Bugs to travel in threesomes...but I don't think these are "Master Race" variants nor are they from VFA-31 either...methinks they look like Black Lions of VFA-213 (how's their form, Spike?)
080327-N-7241L-008 ATLANTIC OCEAN (March 27, 2008) A group of F/A-18E Super Hornets assigned to the "Tomcatters" of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 31 make a low pass over the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) in preparation for landing. Theodore Roosevelt and embarked Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 are conducting tailored ship's training availability and final evaluation problem.
