Video of what is believed to be the same F/A-18 that crash in the WA mountains today.

Video of what is believed to be the same F/A-18 that crash in the WA mountains today.

My girlfriend was out at picnic point beach today and took a video of some jets then sent them to me because she knew I would like to see. She recorded the video at around 11:30 am, and the aircraft crashed around 4:30pm today. Looking at the video closer they seem to look a bit different than other growlers I’ve recorded in the past when I see them flying. They don’t appear to have all the extra electronics that would be on a growler which makes me think they were super hornets. It’s kinda just one of those feelings where you just know you’re not looking at a growler when you see them flying so much. Even tho they look so similar I still feel I can tell the difference even while flying. Then I saw the headline saying a F/A-18 crashed in the mountains out here. Not a ton of growlers or super hornets fly around here on the weekends and because of the area the super hornet just crash, I believe it’s not at all unreasonable to believe these are the same F/A-18 and one may be the one that crashed. Very hard for me to verify if these are the same jets but I still wanted to share this video and info just in case someone else found it interesting that this could be one of the last videos of that aircraft.
