The F/A-18 Hornet is a military all-weather multirole fighter aircraft in service with the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps. The airplane was designed and built by American AeroSpace Company McDonnell Douglas, but the F/A-18C Hornet program was then transferred to Boeing in 1997 following the merger of the 2 companies. The F/A-18C Hornet has been used in numerous military operations in many different parts of the World. The aircraft, as a multi-role fighter jet, can simultanously engage multiple enemy targets on the ground, at sea and in the air with long-range air to ground, air to sea and air to air weapons.
