US Navy's VX-9






Eight Boeing F/A-18E & F "Super Hornets" from Test Squadron Nine (VX-9 "Vampires") will be based at MCAF Kane‘ohe Bay for about a month while undergoing over-water tactical training with F-15s from the Hawai‘i Air National Guard's 199th Fighter Squadron.

In the top photo from a visit from the VX-9 in 2004, the CO's F/A-18E, BuNo 165790, departs from HNL's Runway 8R.

In the above photo, 76-0112 from the 199th FS departs from Runway 22L in 2005.
