F/A-18 Super Hornest
The Boeing F/A-18F is a twin-seat, twin-engine carrier-capable multirole fighter aircraft variant based on the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. It is a larger and more advanced derivative of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in 1999, replacing the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, which was retired in 2006; the Super Hornet serves alongside the original Hornet. This aircraft bares the colors of the U.S. Navy's VF-103 Strike Fighter Squadron nicknamed the Jolly Rodgers. She is sleek and has a level cruising speed above 500mph. I built this plane with performance as the top priority and looks second. It is the best performing recreation I have made and it does not lag or fall apart even at the highest graphics settings (on an iPad).Although this plane is not armed, it can easily be downloaded and loaded for bear by the user. I have an armed variant but I think it will cause lagging issues on mobile devices. I will post it if there is interest.Download
