Nicknamed "Rino," the F/A-18E Super Hornet is the U.S. Navy's main multirole fighter. The Super Hornet is the predecessor of the F/A-18 Legacy Hornet. The "Rino" is larger, heavier, more powerful, more maneuverable, and uses less parts than the Legacy. The "Rino" was recently made popular in the movie TOP GUN MAVERICK.


The payload is Sidewinder ×2, Paveway III ×2, and Drop Tank ×1. The throttle needs to be higher than 95% for afterburner. The controls are the same as the previous version. The V2 update includes: more durable landing gear, better arrested hook, better bomb settings, and most importantly air brakes. This livery is based upon the one flown by Maverick in TOP GUN MAVERICK.
