Those are McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornets. Range 2,000 km so if its US, It's off the 4th Fleet carrier. Can't see the roundel in the pic.

Awesome! Would like to see take off!

[idlemind]

[rfari]

[idlemind]

Thats the south terminal.. close to cargo.

Theres also two larger jets parked nearby, one in the back ground of the pic.
Last week there was also an antonov parked in the same area.

That's a Lockheed C-130 Hercules in the background. Can you see the markings or roundels on the planes? All nations use those types of aircraft, not just USA, and that includes Venezuela. And the the Antonov... what type?

awesome Hornets are awesome.

[idlemind]

I'll take a drive round and see. Maybe from by AA side you can.

[crazybalhead]

I think it's safe to say that there is a US Aircraft carrier within 1000 km of Trinidad. The only operators of the F-18 are Australia, Canada, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain, Switzerland and USA. Out of those only USA has carriers capable of F-18/C-130 take-off. F-18 range is 2000 km, but generally about 700km combat radius. In addition to identifying the workhorse of the US Navy aerial operations the C-130 Hercules.

Could be a drug exercise in the region with the US Navy.

wander if they have anything to do with the military cargo plane or alike i saw at the airport last week

A aircraft carrier doesn't necessarily has to be near. Puerto Rico is less than 2000km away plus from the pic it has extra tanks fitted giving it is full range as it has no armament.
