Description
A flight of four F/A-18F Super Hornets from Strike Fighter Squadron 22 (VFA-22), better known as the "Fighting Redcocks," pull perfect sonic cones as they transit the Gulf of Mexico above Mach 1 while on a flight from Key West destined for New Orleans. VFA-22 was assigned as part of Carrier Air Wing 14 on the USS Ronald Reagan.
The painting was inspired by a detailed description written by LCDR Andy "Skirt" Mickley, seen here as the WSO in the closest jet. His narrative began, "In my 13 years for flying jet fighters for the Navy, this is easily the coolest thing I've seen, but no one in the flight had a camera . . ." Hmm, sounds like a job for an aviation artist!
