Quick Facts
Quick Facts
The Hornet was seen as an affordable, single-seat aircraft that enabled the pilot to rapidly transition between attack and fighter roles.
Over time, the first-generation F/A-18As, like the one before, were succeeded by increasingly capable versions.
The most recent versions are the larger single-seat F/A-18E and two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornets.
These aircrafts are currently operated by the Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team and a number of foreign countries.
