    A U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet (bureau number/modex 412) is captured during a high-speed takeoff or landing roll on a runway. The aircraft is in a low-visibility gray paint scheme and appears to be carrying external fuel tanks and ordnance or equipment under its wings. Debris and spray are visible around the aircraft, consistent with a wet runway surface.

    A Strike Fighter Squadron 94 F/A-18 takes off the flightline here Oct. 30, returning to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni for the month before returning in December for additional follow-on training in the region. The overall focus of the exercise was to promote mission readiness as put forth by Maj. Gen. William D. Beydler, 1st Marine Air Wing commanding officer. This was achieved by improving proficiency and efficiency in aerial combat, and ordnance loading. Approximately 190,000 of ordnance and 16,000 rounds of ammunition were expended throughout the month.
