McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Classic Hornet
The F/A-18 Hornet is an American carrier-capable, all-weather multi-role fighter. The first flight occurred on November 18, 1978, entering operational service in January 1983 with VMFA-314. It was developed from the YF-17 by Northrop in partnership with McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing), who purchased Northrop’s interests in 1985.
The main variants were the single-seat F/A-18A and upgraded F/A-18C; the tandem-seat -B and upgraded -D are either trainers or all-weather strike aircraft. Production ended in 2,000 with 1,480 airframes built.
