The US-designed and built Mcdonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is one of the most important Fourth Generation fighters in the world.
It was controversial in being chosen as the replacement for the much loved F-14 Tomcat, but the truth is that it is a potent and fearsome fighter that boasts one of the most capable.
Its twin-engine, twin-tails (canted outwards), and leading edge root extensions make it one of the most recognizable fighters in operation.
The latest version is the enlarged Super Hornet.
