What was it designed to do? What does it do well? What ordnance does it carry? Why does it look the way it does…?
…These are a few of the questions retired U.S. Navy ( https://www.navy.mil/ ) Lieutenant Commander Q “BBQ” Sterling answers while explaining the Boeing ( http://www.boeing.com/ ) F/A-18 Hornet ( https://www.military.com/equipment/f-18c-d-hornet ) and Super Hornet ( https://www.boeing.com/defense/fa-18-super-hornet/ ) on this, our inaugural ‘aircraft series’ episode. These same questions will be posed to guests during future episodes on a variety of military aircraft include attack planes, bombers, cargo haulers, and more.
The unique, dual designation fighter and attack Hornet is renowned for its lethality and reliability. The follow-on, larger Super Hornet offers improved systems and avionics with two additional weapons stations and more “bring back” than its predecessor.
