DESCRIPTION
Air Power Series
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18E Super Hornet, Red 12
"Mako" Scheme
USN VFC-12 "Fighting Omars"
NAS Oceana, VA, June 2021
The USN has painted F/A-18E in a scheme to look similar to a Russian Su-57 Felon. The scheme was meant to resemble the scheme on the fifth production Su-57 which the Russians referred to as “White Shark” so the staff from VFC-12 “Fighting Omars” named theirs “Mako” and use the call sign “Ambush”. This shark scheme was first seen on June 18, 2021 during a change-of-command at NAS Oceana. VFC-12’s new Commanding Officer, CDR Scott “CAWK” Golich is displayed on the canopy rail.
