    201106-N-KM072-006 (KEY WEST, Fla.) Four F/A-18 Super Hornets from Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 211 “Fighting Checkmates” take off from Naval Air Station Key West’s Boca Chica Field during the last day of training before the squadron leaves early ahead of potential bad weather resulting from Eta. Naval Air Station Key West is the state-of-the-art facility for combat fighter aircraft of all military services, provides world-class pierside support to U.S. and foreign naval vessels, and is the premier training center for surface and subsurface military operations.

    A U.S. Navy/Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet fighter jet is captured just after takeoff from a military airfield, with landing gear still extended and partially retracting. The aircraft is painted in standard gray livery and is flying low over the runway. Military infrastructure including hangars, earthen berms, and support vehicles are visible in the background.
    A U.S. Navy jet fighter aircraft is captured in flight against an overcast, pale sky. The aircraft displays a distinctive camouflage paint scheme with a red star marking on the tail and the number '00' visible on the fuselage. The landing gear appears to be deployed, suggesting the aircraft may be in a landing or low-speed flight configuration.
    A military jet aircraft, consistent with an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, is captured during takeoff or low-altitude flight over an airfield runway. The aircraft is in a nose-up climbing attitude with landing gear still deployed, and engine exhaust smoke is visible trailing behind. In the background, a row of white arched aircraft hangars and various ground support equipment are visible along the flight line.
    A military jet aircraft, consistent with an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, is captured just after takeoff from a military airfield. The aircraft is airborne at low altitude with landing gear still deployed, flying over a concrete runway marked with the number '3'. Several hangars, hardened aircraft shelters, and parked aircraft are visible in the background.
    Multiple military jet aircraft are captured in flight over what appears to be a military airfield or runway. The foreground features a prominent twin-engine fighter jet, identifiable as an F/A-18 Hornet or Super Hornet, with afterburners visibly glowing orange. At least three additional aircraft are visible at varying distances in the background sky.
    A Northrop F-5 Tiger II jet aircraft painted in an aggressor scheme with shark mouth nose art and red star markings is taking off or landing on a military airfield runway. The aircraft bears the number '101' and appears to belong to a U.S. Navy adversary/aggressor squadron, likely VFC-111 based on visible markings. The blue-gray paint scheme with Soviet-style red star insignia is characteristic of adversary training aircraft used to simulate enemy fighters.
    A U.S. Navy F-5 Tiger II fighter jet assigned to VFC-111 'Sun Downers' adversary squadron is captured during takeoff or landing on a runway. The aircraft is painted in a Soviet-style aggressor scheme with a red star on the tail and features a distinctive shark mouth nose art with the number '101'. The setting appears to be a military airfield in a warm, coastal region.
    A U.S. Navy F-5 Tiger II adversary aircraft assigned to VFC-111 (Fighter Composite Squadron 111) is captured during takeoff or low-altitude flight over a runway. The aircraft is painted in a Soviet-style camouflage scheme with a red star insignia on the tail, consistent with its adversary/aggressor training role. The number '101' is prominently displayed on the nose, and a shark mouth design is painted on the air intake.
    A U.S. Navy F-5 Tiger II jet aircraft assigned to VFC-111 (adversary squadron) is captured during takeoff or landing on a runway. The aircraft bears the number '112' and 'VFC-III' markings, painted in a gray adversary scheme with a red star on the tail fin. The setting appears to be a coastal military airfield with civilian structures visible in the background.
    A U.S. Navy F-5 Tiger II jet aircraft assigned to VFC-111 squadron is captured just above the runway during takeoff or low-altitude flight. The aircraft features distinctive aggressor-style markings including a red star and rising sun pattern on the tail fin, along with shark mouth nose art. The setting appears to be a military airfield with hangars, radar domes, and support buildings visible in the background.
    A U.S. Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to an adversary aggressor squadron (VFC-12 or similar) is taxiing on a runway. The aircraft bears the number '49' and features a distinctive blue digital camouflage pattern with a red star on the tail, typical of aggressor/adversary training units. The setting appears to be a coastal military airfield with support vehicles visible in the background.
