Sightings: VFA-41 "Black Aces" Super Hornet Makes Stop at TAC Air St. Louis

By Mark Nankivil

Today's "sighting" is an F/A-18F Super Honet from VFA-41 "Black Aces" of NAS Lemoore, CA on the ramp at TAC Air St. Louis.  Military aircraft like this Super Hornet are occasional visitors to TAC Air at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in the Chesterfield Valley, where the nearly 7500-foot runway can accommodate most tactical military aircraft. The TAC Air facility provides refueling services and a spacious terminal for crews to prepare for the next leg of the flight and relax for a bit before taking off again. Special thanks to TACAir for their hospitality.
