That's because it's an EA-6B Prowler, not a Hornet.

the one I find strange looking is the 7th pic, with the 2 Spanish Harriers. The camo and markings on the Hornet look almost as is they have been (poorly) photoshopped.

Any opinions?

First the AV-8B+ are from Italy - not Spain ;) Did you notice the fake underside black canopy à la Canadian Air Force to visually fool ennemy pilots?

The camo is really cool looking. It is not photoshoped, these are special decorations / experimental schemes you find from times to time in the US Navy or with the USMC.

About the F/A-18C :


040712-N-3799S-008 Atlantic Ocean (July 10, 2004) - Above the clouds over the Atlantic Ocean an F/A-18C Hornet assigned to the "Sidewinders" of Strike Fighter Squadron Eight Six (VFA-86) flies in formation with two Italian AV-8B Harrier II+ assigned to the Italian Navy aircraft carrier ITS Giuseppi Garabaldi (C 551) after conducting Dissimilar Air Combat Training (DACT). The aircraft are part of Majestic Eagle, a multinational exercise being conducted off the coast of Morocco. The exercise demonstrates the combined force capabilities and quick response times of the participating naval, air, undersea and surface warfare groups. Countries involved in the U.S.-led exercise include the United Kingdom, Morocco, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey. Truman's participation in Majestic Eagle is part of her scheduled deployment supporting the Navy's new fleet response plan (FRP) Summer Pulse 2004, the simultaneous deployment of seven carrier strike groups (CSGs), demonstrating the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat across the globe, in five theaters with other U.S., allied, and coalition military forces.

Love the original Hornet but I don't like the fatty and dilated E/F version for good :(
