Designed as a replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk and the A-7 Corsair II and as a complement to the F-14 Tomcat, the F/A-18 first flew on November 18, 1978. Perhaps best known as the aircraft of the US Navy"s Blue Angels, this carrier-capable, supersonic, all-weather fighter has many roles, including fighter escort, fleet air defense and close air support. The F/A-18 is a versatile aircraft: it can operate from carriers or land bases and a single switch converts it from fighter to strike mode. During Operation Desert Storm, the F/A-18 proved that, on a single mission, one aircraft could serve as both fighter and a bomber. Diecast metal construction with a minimum of plastic components. Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Authentic markings and placard details. Permanently extended sturdy metal landing gear with non-rotating wheels. Authentic fixed ordnance loads. Accurately detailed underside with concealed screwheads. Dimensions: 3.25" L x 2.25" W.
