This Shooters F/A-18D is equipped with Advanced Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance System (ATARS).

Did you get the story on this one?  Strong hunch it's an ex-Green Knights bird. 

No, I didn't get the BuNo to search its history, but I would assume you are correct.

Jack sent me the BuNo, and it is an ex-Green Knights bird (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24526864@N03/4319458994/).
