The eighth entry in the Famous Planes: Superplanes collection focuses on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, an all-weather fighter-jet that was widely deployed during Operation Desert Storm. The F/A-18 Hornet is a supersonic, carrier-capable fighter jet, used by both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet's versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, serving in a multi-role capacity as fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses, air interdiction, close air support and aerial reconnaissance.
