The F/A-18E Super Hornet model takes modern warfare to new heights. Flown in multiple military operations, including Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Hornet's speed and precision-guided weapons system have played a major role in wars for the last two decades. The Super Hornet fighter jet model takes all of the major components and scales them down so you can enjoy them every day.
The Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet model is a carrier-based multi-mission strike fighter that entered service with the United States Navy (USN) in 1999. It is a larger and more advanced version of the night strike F/A-18C/D Hornet. The Super Hornet fighter jet model provides the battle group commander with a platform that has range, endurance, and ordnance carriage capabilities comparable to those of the retired A-6 Intruder.
Ordered from McDonnell Douglas by the USN in 1992, the Super Hornet first flew in November 1995. The Super Hornet military model is informally referred to as the Rhino, to distinguish it from earlier model legacy Hornets. Initial production began in 1995. Flight testing started in 1996 and ended in 1999. The Super Hornet aircraft model testing involved 3,100 test flights covering 4,600 flight hours. The aircraft passed the Navy's operational tests and evaluations in February 2000, and has replaced the A-6 Intruder, S-3 Viking and KA-6D. The Super Hornet model is capable of performing a broad spectrum of roles, including day/night strikes with precision-guided weapons, anti-air warfare, fighter escort, reconnaissance, forward air control, close air support, suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD), maritime strike and air-to-air refueling.
The Navy's Strike Fighter Squadron 115 was the first unit to bring their Super Hornets to combat. The Hornet fighter jet model, on November 6, 2002, in support of Operation Southern Watch, two F/A-18Es conducted a "Response Option" strike on two surface-to-air missile launchers at Al Kut and an air defense command and control bunker at Tallil Air Base. It was the first time 2,000-lb JDAM bombs were dropped from the F/A-18E in wartime. The Super Hornet military model flew close air support, strike, escort SEAD and aerial refueling roles during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Buy the F/A-18E Super Hornet model, and be amazed at the detail of the plane known for its combat mission capabilities.
