I doubt this is remembered, but I mentioned on a previous video that the Growler was my third favorite plane in the world. I was talking with a friend about this channel and told him of my preference, and he asked "But.. It's basically just a F-18, why pick the Growler?" so I thought that may need a little clarification. The first F-18 I ever saw was a single seater with the bubble cockpit, and I thought it just looked... Off. The first Growler I saw was a two seater and looked much, MUCH better (aesthetically speaking). I know there's also a Super Hornet with the elongated bubble, but the Growler already stole that show. :)
