F/A-18 Hornet Blue Angel on Runway
The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 is a multirole fighter designed for aircraft carrier duty. The U.S. Marines ordered it as an F-18 fighter and the Navy as an A-18 attack aircraft. 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.
