Is this an F/A-18 or a Russian Su-27?

I spotted this aircraft sitting at Miami’s Opa Locka airport a few days ago. Remarkable livery, one of a kind!

It is an F-18C painted in aggressor markings,used for tactical intercept training.

As if the landing gear and the intakes aren’t enough to give it away, note the faded or painted-over “Star & Stripes”(i.e. United States) insignia on the fuselage above the nose gear.

[ Lots of photos ] ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/avsfan/page21/) Came across this by accident, off of the Flickr site. Mostly from Grand Junction Colorado, many shots including F-18 Aggressors. Lots of biz jets, and plenty of military aircraft, and extremely high quality photos.
