A few months ago Playboy magazine had a picture of an all-black F-14 with the bunny logo. I thought this logo had been banned from Navy aircraft after the Tailhook scandal. Does anybody know any details? D

In the interest of getting back to a discussion on Naval Aviation in this news group... (I'm tired of the War in Iraq and German Proximity Fuze threads.) I recently had the good fortune to talk to several former Navy reservists at a recent Hunter Reunion for pilots. We had 35 years of VF-201 and...

Has the designation changed from F/a-18 to F-18. TIA.
