Description: BuNo 162829 as NF-104, an F/A-18A Hornet assigned to VFA-195 in 1991. This shows NF-104 as it appeared on 13 February 1991 when LCDR. Jeff S. Ashby (who was also the first F/A-18 pilot to use the Walleye II in combat), destroyed the Super Frelon with a Walleye I, allowing the US carriers to move up closer to Kuwait. Proof of this can be seen here in the documentary "The Pursuit of Precision. AGM-62 Walleye The TV-Guided Glide Bomb"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPgVsz_TnkE).
