Boeing Military Aircraft – FA-18 Super Hornet

A Marine F-18 Hornet taxis into position for takeoff at a training base in Northern Jordan as part of Exercise Eager Lion. The Marine jets will play “aggressors” during air-to-air maneuvers that take place here as part of the ongoing training performed between the Americans and Jordanians. Eager Lion is a U.S. Central Command-directed, irregular warfare-themed exercise focusing on missions the United States and its coalition partners might perform in support of global contingency operations.
