News info@aviamagazine.com Although the Hornet was becoming the back-bone attack-fighter for the US navy and Marine corps it still had some shortcomings. The C/D model didn't fix them, so during the early 90s McDonnell Douglas and the Navy started looking into a highly upgraded version, christened the Super Hornet. Like the now called legacy Hornets it would become available in two versions, the E and F model. Later during the early 2000s, the platform was adapted for the Electronic Warfare (EW) role to replace the aging EA-6, as EA-18G Growler. http://www.aviamagazine.com/factsheets/aircraft/fa18/part2.aspx Wed, 24 Dec 2025 11:03:00 GMT Traditionally most of the Royal International Air Tattoo participant's head home on Monday after the show.
