@johan404 Alot people don't know the hornet is our most agile fighter especially at low speed encounters. When the Indian airforce used their mig-29s in mock dogfights they lost because the hornet out maneuvered the mig 29s. The Canadians won the world topgun competition using the hornet. I love the mig though.
@lambovinnie Mig-29 is much more maneuverable and better at visual range air combat than the F/A-18, while the F/A-18 has better avionics and is better at beyond visual range combat, although most air combat takes place in visual range. Really the F/A-18 is not that good at anything, but it's not entirely bad at everything either.
@ethanwebs It is difficult to compare Mig-29 and F\A-18. They have different classes, sizes and roles. F\A-18, as it seen on its literals (F\A) can be in assaulter role, so offcourse F\A-18 have more payload. Mig-29 is classic fighter plane. Russians always used specialized planes, and the US prefered multi-role planes. Just different tactics.
@MrDelusionalClown f-22, eurofighter typhoon, su-47... any of these ringing a bell?
Mig29 was an excellent aircraft for the time, but its not the best in the world by any measure.
As an aside, f-18 can carry almost twice the weight in ordnance and has two more hardpoints than mig-29, giving the hornet an advantage in the range of missions it can achieve.

mig29 good for airshows but not dog fighting. hornet is the best slow speed dog fighter in the world.
