Probably the quickest way from below would be the tailplanes, the rear edge of a legacy Hornet has a curve at the tip, SuperBugs have a straight angle. Canopy to body size ratio can sometimes be a giveaway, the super bug is bigger enough that the canopy looks different. And IIRC the pylon count will be different too. 4 vs. 6 |

From: Dweezil Dwarftosser Ah... memories. I used to sit on the couch in my third-floor living room in Hahn Housing's 14-B-3 and watch the noisy F-4s pass first by the right window, then the left, taking off from the runway a few hundred feet away, as B-327 curved around the perimiter. Later, Vogelweh was too far from Ramstein to enjoy the same treat. John T. - Bitburg 75-77, Hahn 77-80, Ramstein 81-85. (There's almost a year at Seymour Johnson in there, too: 80-81.) Ah yes, memories.... getting my teeth rattled while trying to sleep in a baracks room facing the red section end of the runway at Hahn. 1978 - 1980 You might have gotten a little more than noise there. Two Tab Vee spots in Red Section overlooked the base chapel - where the SPs often lay in wait with a radar speed gun. WCS toads would zap the crystals in the speed guns with live pulse and CW at every opportunity. It was considered a public service... |
