MCDONNELL DOUGLAS Super Hornet —

David, the ICAO aircraft type designator for the Blue Angels Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets is F18S. If you change the code that you entered, your photo will be correctly identified and indexed in the FA photo database.

I don't think anyone flies closer than these guys, not in fast jets anyway.

Thanks, Colin Seftel. I appreciate that. At the airshow, they kept referring to the Blue Angels platform with the designation "F/A-18E/F". How do I find the ICAO for a particular model of plane?

The easiest way to look up an ICAO type code is simply to ask Google! You can also go to the ICAO site: 'https://www.icao.int/operational-safety/doc-8643-aircraft-type-designators/search'

Perfect diamond!
