McDonnell Douglas FA-18 Hornet (16-9128)

Looks like an EA18 Growler.

This is a great pic, Matt, but are you 100% certain this is a Sopwith Triplane and that its reg number is "VX9"? I am inclined to agree with Roy.

Affirmative on the EA-18G , I tried for ever to get the type to accept in the block of description & it will not go here. I looked at other hornet photos & they had FA18 but the page rejected my attempts. "Invalid aircraft type"

Matt ... Enter "F18". It will accept. Granted, it is an EA-18G, but anything close is better than "Sopwith." Also, "VX-9" is not the reg; it is the squadron identifier: VX-9 stands for AIRTEVRON9 (Air Test And Evaluation Squadron Nine). The VX-9 "Vampires" are based at China Lake. The a/c reg is a six-digit number. All begin with the same two numbers: 16????. Unfortunately, the number on this one is obscured.

Right Gary , I did all that & zip..so I was grabbing at anything & now the abbreviations are ,well not what I wanted. I am thinking it is my browser here at work. Bureau # (169128) N/A. I have & tried it too. I did post the info you provided in the block with the picture. I will attempt to edit...SMH.
