Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet - America's Strike Fighter

[7nordic]

Actually the count for the RAAF is up to 20 now with 4 more to come and the pilots are saying the Super Hornet only has a quarter of the range and a quarter of the payload of the F111

i thought f-18 where only on carriers

[TuAFFalcon]

@Comet12421 Na the Super Bugs are everywhere! Well the Legacy Hornets anyways. Australia is the only country at the moment that has the Super Hornet recently and deliveries still ongoing. Australia, Spain, the Swiss etc all chose the Hornets over the F-16's.

[kdraper2007]

@Comet12421 Switzerland, Austrailia, Spain, Norway, Canada, & Malasia use variuos versions of the F/A-18. that's just a list off the top of my head. there may be other users. If the F-35 doesn't pan out the British are considering the Super Hornet for use on their new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers.
