History.

The F/A-18C Hornet is a versatile multirole combat aircraft developed by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and Northrop for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. Introduced in the 1980s, the F/A-18C is an upgraded variant of the earlier F/A-18A/B models, featuring advanced avionics, radar systems, and increased payload capacity. The Hornet is designed for both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, making it a crucial asset in modern warfare.

The F/A-18C's adaptability has proven valuable in various conflicts, including the Gulf War, where it excelled in both fighter and attack roles. Its advanced radar, the AN/APG-73, and upgraded cockpit systems enhance situational awareness and combat effectiveness. The Hornet's twin-engine design provides reliability and performance, while its ability to operate from aircraft carriers offers strategic flexibility. With a top speed of Mach 1.8 and a range of over 1,200 miles, the F/A-18C remains a key component of U.S. military aviation, demonstrating enduring effectiveness in diverse operational scenarios.
