A license built Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet made by FlightArms CAC for the Tactical Forces Military Global Air Combat branch.

This special variant of the single seat Super Hornet was specifically made for the 51st Combat Wing's Buzzer Squadron, a multirole fighter group responsible for deep strike or interdiction missions behind enemy lines. Buzzer Hornets comprise almost half of the squadron alongside their Legacy versions, and the other half being different strike/multirole aircraft.

As per role of the squadron in combat missions, the Buzzer Hornet is equipped with electronic countermeasures, improved armor panels, and state of the art avionics, enabling it to target multiple enemies at once. Be it ground or air. This heavy bird is armed with the Tactical Forces' standard AAFF-20R Multirole BVR missile, giving them the ability to destroy targets from long range, Mark 83 1000 lbs GP bombs for static hard targets, AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles for short range air to air kills, and an M61 Vulcan 20mm gatling cannon for vicious strafing runs and dogfights.

Although this Super Hornet variant is exclusively built for the TFMGAC, allied nations and militaries are also allowed to allocate limited units of this fighter for their air or naval air forces.
