Chippy Ho by Philip West. One of the most potent multi-mission fighters ever built, the rugged
McDonnell Douglas F-18 Hornet has been a mainstay of the US Navy and
Marine Corps during the last two decades. Philip has made a classic study of an F/A-18C Hornet from VFA-195,
tactical call sign Chippies, flying a fully armed mission exercise near
Mount Fuji while detached to Kadena AB, Okinawa. The colourfully painted
squadron CAG bird Chippy Ho, strikes a menacing pose, equipped with AGM-88
missiles, AIM-9L Sidewinders, drop-tanks and sensor pods. The F-18 demonstrated its effectiveness and versatility during the Gulf
War when, on a strike mission and loaded with 2,000 lb bombs, two Hornets
from VFA-81 dispatched two Iraqi MiG-21s with Sidewinder and Sparrow
missiles, before continuing to complete their bombing mission.
