I reckon this is a difficult one, let’s see how you do:

Maule M-7 of the Argintine (Martime/Naval) Air Force??
Not a Maule M-7, not Argentine, but yes, someone’s naval air arm…
Insignia looks Mexican …

and my reasoning came from

Yes, Mexican (though they now seem to use two anchors on the insignia!)!
Maybe IPN Tonatiuh?
Well done, I am impressed!
Whoops, double post!
What aircraft is in this picture?:

And who is the operator?
Clue: The caption will not help you!
Super Hornet? USN or USMC?? Looks like either buddy-buddy refuelling pod, but it wouldn’t have 3, just centre line pod for that - towed arrays decoys (ALE-50) on the wings maybe?
As it was Red Flag, perhaps a towed target facility for live target runs?
EA-18G Growler, EA 6 Prowler replacement
Aye, US Navy VAQ-135. 
USMC don’t have the Growler.
Love the caption! :lol:

Correct! Aircraft and unit identified!
Bringing this back to life. Anyone who’s better at air recce than I am want to tell me what I’m looking at?
There’s an air festival this weekend, so we’re getting a big uplift in traffic.
Easy, Mi-8 HIP. If the tail rotor is on the opposite side, then it’s an Mi-17.

And for Peru’s budget-friendly version of the Red Arrows?
I hate to be that guy, but recce is reconnaissance and not recognition.
