Pretty sure it's a marine night attack F/A-18D with LITENING pod centerline.

Nice as long as you are fighting pygmee. This configuration is only usefull during a long CAP over the "warzone", waiting for a decent target.

"This configuration is only usefull during a long CAP over the "warzone", waiting for a decent target." --TDidier ---Hmmm, sounds just like what the doctor ordered if I'm stuck in my Brad in Fallujah and there is a building with a ATGM team with HMG support around the next corner. 10 AMRAAMs is also possible but I guess thats "only useful" in a2a combat. Whats your point?

Further investigation reveals: VMFA-242. With LITENING pod and ATARS in the nose. Far wing has GBU-38 500 lb JDAM.

Nothing more virtuous or salient enough to bring tears to ones eyes, than to see a Bug with full metal destruction heading off on a mission to destroy raggies. Ahhh...what pleasant dreams are made of.

OUCH. But true. Could have Shotdown the Sukhois then Bombed their base in the same sortie. link

From DarthA: " RE:Talk About Multirole! 8/23/2005 6:30:07 PM "This configuration is only usefull during a long CAP over the "warzone", waiting for a decent target." --TDidier ---Hmmm, sounds just like what the doctor ordered if I'm stuck in my Brad in Fallujah and there is a building with a ATGM team with HMG support around the next corner. 10 AMRAAMs is also possible but I guess thats "only useful" in a2a combat. Whats your point? " My point was that such a configuration is common during all airshows with a lot of aircrafts in the world, but counter-insurgency is not a hight intensity war. You would perform as well with an A-37 Dragonfly (maybe better/cheaper)...
