An F/A-18C Hornet from VFC-12 (Fighter Squadron Composite 12), The Fighting Omars, based at NAS Oceana, Virginia made a stop at TACAir St. Louis. The unit is one of two providing adversary training for Navy and Marine units. This legacy Hornet was marked as the CAG bird and decked out in two-tone blue and gray camouflage similar to that found on MiG-29s.
