Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA5128 replicates in 1/72 scale diecast the F/A-18F Super Hornet #7 Blue Angels US Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, season 2021.
Blue Angels
The Blue Angels are the United States Navya flight demonstration squadron, formed in 1946. It is the second oldest formal aerobatic team in the world.
The team, composed of six Navy and one Marine Corps demonstration pilot, fly Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornets. A United States Marine Corps Lockheed C-130J Super Hercules, nicknamed “Fat Albert”, is used for logistics. The Blue Angels typically perform at least 60 shows annually.
No. 7, a two-seat F/A-18F Hornet, is used as a backup and to give demonstration rides to VIPs.
Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
The Boeing F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet is an American twin-engine carrier-capable multi-role monoplane fighter, larger and more advanced than the F/A-18 C/D. The main variants are the F/A-18E (single-seat), F/A-18F (tandem-seat) and electronic warfare (EA-18G Growler). Designed for the US Navy, it first flew on November 29, 1995, entering service in September 2001 with VFA-115. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is the only other operator.
The F/A 18E/F uses two General Electric F414 after-burning axial-flow turbofan engines mounted side by side in the rear of the fuselage. The armament consists of one cannon in the nose. Eleven external hardpoints can carry up to 8,050 kgs (17,750 lbs) of stores.
