  • The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) and Northrop (now part of Northrop Grumman), the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. 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, 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, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its earlier contemporaries, such as the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in the fighter and strike fighter role, and the Grumman A-6 Intruder and LTV A-7 Corsair II in the attack role.
    The Hornet first saw combat action during the 1986 United States bombing of Libya and subsequently participated in the 1991 Gulf War and 2003 Iraq War. The F/A-18 Hornet served as the baseline for the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, its larger, evolutionary redesign.

    I have a question about the aerobatic smoke in the F-16. I am using the smokewinder f-16 mod but I have one problem. After entering the F-16, only "smoke safe" is shown to me, and when I click the smoke toggle button assigned, nothing happens. Do you know how to fix it?

      What mod do you use for the smoke ? If its the one I'm thinking off add the payload to the aircraft start the mission/Display in cockpit mode on the left side console you will see the EPU switch lift the switch covers that are red and just leave the covers up don't do anything els just toggle the smoke button also smoke won't start straight away till aircraft picks up speed I have added a link incase you not sure on what switch you are looking for ,hope that has helped/answered your question
