EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment as an F/A-18E Super Hornet, belonging to the esteemed VFA-143 Pukin Dogs squadron, prepares for landing aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Arabian Sea. The date was October 2,2012, during Operation Enduring Freedom. The image showcases the sheer might and precision of this advanced aircraft as it approaches the flight deck with its arresting gear engaged. Against a backdrop of endless blue skies and sparkling waters, this dynamic shot highlights both the beauty and intensity of military aviation. The F/A-18E Super Hornet is seen from a side view, displaying its sleek design and formidable presence. Its landing gear is fully extended in preparation for touchdown on the carrier's runway. The tailhook can be spotted at its rear end - a crucial component that enables arrested landings on aircraft carriers. With no people visible in this photograph, all attention is drawn to this magnificent warplane amidst an expansive outdoor setting. This color image perfectly encapsulates motion and action as it freezes a fleeting moment in time. Photographer Gert Kromhout has masterfully captured not only an extraordinary piece of machinery but also pays tribute to the brave men and women serving in our armed forces who operate these combat aircraft with skill and dedication.
