Two Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets of VFA-106 fly with an Extra 300 aerobatic aircraft during Sun N Fun 2024, Florida. The Super Hornets operate twin General Electric F414-GE-400 turbofan engines, while the Extra 300 uses a Lycoming AEIO-540 horizontally opposed piston engine optimized for aerobatics. Smoke trails and jet condensation mark coordinated maneuvering in an airshow routine combining military strike fighters and a high-agility aerobatic monoplane.
