F/A-18 Blue Angels Flight Line
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 is a multirole fighter designed for aircraft carrier duty. It was the first aircraft to claim this dual distinction. It can switch roles easily and can also be adapted for photoreconnaissance and electronic countermeasure missions. The resilient F/A-18 Hornet was the first aircraft to have carbon fiber wings and the first tactical jet fighter to use digital fly-by-wire flight controls. Variants included a two-seater, an improved fighter, a reconnaissance aircraft and a night-attack fighter. Since the first Hornet entered service in 1980, McDonnell Douglas built over 1,200. In November 1986, the Navy's Blue Angels' demonstration squadron replaced its A-4 Skyhawks with F/A-18 Hornets. The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet made its first flight in November 1995. This advanced version offered greater range and payload-carrying ability, more powerful engines, an improved cockpit, and increased mission radius, endurance and survivability.
