Three US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets were some of the Australian International Air Show's star attractions at Avalon Airport in March 2007. Super Hornets performed flying demonstrations at the air show that demonstrated the aircraft's abilities such as simulated combat manoeuvers, loops and high-speed passes. Two of the three Super Hornets were from Strike Fighter Squadron 102; and the other was from Strike Fighter Squadron 27. Both squadrons operate out of Atsugi, Japan.
