Notes:

What a great surprise and a great way to start 2019. Five of these CF-18 and a Polaris showed up at Lajes on their way home. After landing, 742 came back to the active runway for barrier certification. You can clearly see the tailhook producing quite some sparks while in contact with the runway.
