98.6k WHNineTripleOne  2.8 years ago

A modification of EngineerOtaku's F/A-18A. The F variant is the two-seater version of F/A-18 Hornet. A versatile carrier-based fighter capable of providing support for aircraft, ground forces, and ships. With better maneuverability at medium speeds than high-speed fighters, it is effective in air raids. Nicknamed "Super Hornet," the craft is an improved F-Type.

    This would really be more like an F/A-18B or D model. The Super Hornet is a totally different airplane.
    .
    Speaking of which I should make one of those at some point...
