Two VFA-2 “Bounty Hunters” Super Hornet flying over the Rose Bowl as seen from above.
On Nov. 17, 2018, two F/A-18F Super Hornet jets, belonging to the VFA-2 “Bounty Hunters” based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California, performed a flyover at USC vs UCLA Game at the Rose Bowl.
Once again, Mark Holtzman, a California native with over 25 years of experience as both a photographer and pilot, founder of West Coast Aerial Photography, a company specialising in aerial photography based in Los Angeles, who has taken the jaw-dropping aerial photographs of the B-2s doing the Rose Parade flyovers in the last years, was airborne to take the impressive shot of the two “Rhinos” (yes, the Super Hornet is nicknamed “Rhino” in the U.S. Navy community) from above.
