The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is an all-weather supersonic, twin-engined, carrier-capable, multirole combat aircraft, designed as both a fighter and ground attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the YF-17 that lost against the YF-16 in the United States Air Force's lightweight fighter program. The United States Navy selected the YF-17 for the Navy Air Combat Fighter program, further developed the design and renamed it F/A-18; the United States Marine Corps would also adopt the aircraft. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations, and formerly by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.
The F/A-18 was designed to be a highly versatile aircraft due to its avionics, cockpit displays, and excellent aerodynamic characteristics for high angles-of-attack maneuvers, with the ability to carry a wide variety of weapons. The aircraft can perform fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses, air interdiction, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset.

@TheCommentaryGuy ok i fix all flaws im not that familiar with the aircraft.
@cay7809 i guess so iam not taht well versed in the hornet i will fix all the flows.
@IQinventory and also the engines are bit too far from each other
@IQinventory my guy, my one of my favorite fighters is the F/A-18, and i know for a fact that the wings are from a super hornet, not a legacy hornet. the F/A-18A to C has a smooth leading edges while the SuperBugs have a dogtooth leading edge.
@IQinventory the legacy hornets leading edge slats are smooth the whole way, this build's leading edge slat has a sort of "dogtooth" leading edge slat, which is only found on super hornets, and the image you attached is a super hornet
@cay7809 i got it of off a model i saw online.
@TheCommentaryGuy it doesn't fa18
i have made the super hornet too. You will that they are different .
vfa-41 never flew legacies, they went straight from the f-14a to the fa18f
why does it have super hornet wings
@IQinventory Canada ,Finland ,Quwait, Malaysia, Espanyol, Swizerland , Thailand and Australian they user plane this
