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.

this is a replica of the original version that I made. the interior is the same as the real one. and I made a railgun version: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/u2I2jI/FA-18-Hornet-Railgun

if the air brake button doesn't work on the throttle, just use activate 5. and also the captain's name comes from a real name. you can search the name on google
