Unusual formation: U.S. Navy F-18Es and Royal Malaysian Air Force Sukhoi Su-30s. Overflying USS George Washington
Taken in the South China Sea on Oct. 15, the following picture shows a quite unusual formation: two F/A-18Es from VFA-27 "Royal Maces" fly in formation with two Sukhoi Su-30s from the Royal Malaysian Air Force over USS George Washington.
The forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 "provide a combat-ready force that protects and defends the collective maritime interest of the U.S. and its allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region."

A lonely C-2 Greyhound sits on the flight deck of USS Enterprise (CVN 65) with the Milky Way partially visible on the background.
The image was taken on Oct. 8, as the aircraft carrier, on its final cruise, was then steaming in the Gulf of Aden during routine operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
The "Big E" moved through Suez Canal for the last time on Oct. 16, 2012.
Noteworthy, the COD (Carrier On board Delivery) planes do not always spend the night on board the supercarriers: since they are quite cumbersome, they usually perform daily missions to bring cargo, personnel, mail on board and return to Manama, Bahrain, where they rest until the following morning.

Photo: Flames explode behind the Blue Angels' F/A-18 Hornets at Miramar Air Show 2012
Flames seem to surround the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demo team's F/A-18 Hornet jets during the night portion of the MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) Miramar air show 2012, on Oct. 13.
The Saturday "twilight" show, a fireworks display and the final "Great Wall of Fire" pyrotechnic display are common features of the annual Miramar air show.
Miramar is famous all around the world for being the base of the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapon School, whose training program inspired Top Gun.
The NFWS, has moved to NAS Fallon, Nevada, in 1996.

Mig-25 vs M1A1 :cool2:
That is one well built fuselage. Even with the M1 on top it is not crushed... and you can get a real sense of the immensity of that aircraft.
