F/A-18F, US Navy
A first European visit during this year's show at Farnborough was the Super Hornet. The US Navy sent two F/A-18Fs to the UK, one for the static show and the other one for the flying program. The 165675/NJ-101 is seen on the above picture while doing its thing in the skies above Farnborough.
