Notes: #120 was originally built as a standard F/A-18F. It was eventually modified to be configured as an EA-18G. This photo was taken on its first flight after being modified, which was the first time a Hornet had been flown with the ALQ-218 wingtip pods. 'Tester Orange' indicates other new parts added to the aircraft.
