At least, I think that looks like an F-5 shadow
I was thinking more F-18 myself - that looks like a jag indicating twin tails at the top of the shadow, and the Navy is still using them, right? - but I'll freely admit that my detailed knowledge of aircraft outlines is mainly confined to Macross, Transformers G1 and Galaxy Force/Cybertron, and a certain WWII classics.
It's definitely an F/A-18.  Notice how far the exhaust nozzle protrudes from the vertical stabilizer.  Dead giveaway for an 18 - the F-15 and F-16 both have their vertical stabilizers much closer to the exhaust nozzles.  And yes, the Navy still uses them, and will for quite some time now that the new Super Hornets are here.
