Tribute to the F18 Hornet

[@wildremiofwater...9086]

Very good jet. My dad actually was the Co-Pilot of one When he was in the military. So i have some Mad Respect for that jet.

You know I was a grunt Marine. I wanted to fly jets off a carriers but my eyes did not allow me. When I watch the video's tears fill my eyes. Fly Navy!

[@heinzdeboer2250]

Yeah. Lemme tell you. There is nothing stopping you from being a pilot. It took me 20 years. But I got there. And u don't have to fly F18s off a deck to make a difference. One of the best best pilots I know sprays crops. And he keeps food on our table and earns more than and other pilot I know. Live your dreams. Make a start and don't quit

[@theloneranger2101]

I just love watching the deck crew doing their stuff to get a jet into the air, could watch them all day! Brilliant!

My father worked on the McDonnell Douglass A-12 Avenger ll program that derived the F412 from GE's F404. After the program was canceled, the research was directed toward an engine for the F/A 18E/F Super Hornet. I think it's pretty cool that my dad had an such an integral role in development of the F414 engine ! F18s are so badass!

[@michaelpaige3398]

My father was an electrical engineer who worked for McDonnell Douglass on the F-18. St. Peters, Missouri. I have some awesome pictures of the F-18 in production for marketing to congress(circa 1976 -1979). The aircraft is painted white with blue and gold stripes. A hornet with the words NAVY are on it(test flight pictures). I have pictures of the Harrier jump jet as well. The aircraft is painted white with red and blue stripes. The word Marines are on it(pictures are taken on an aircraft carrier.

I find myself at a crossroads. Launching and recovering of aircraft is always cool. However, modern airwing is some version of a super hornet and I find uninspiring. Man the days of two legacy hornet squadrons, two tomcat squadrons, intruder and prowler squadrons, Viking and of course Hawkeye. Balanced airwing. Each aircraft had its own hazards to watch out for. And to be frank, if you haven't had the experience of being up close and personal of a Tomcat, squatting on cat at full power.... man she was beautiful and menacing.

I know there are many that are still in love with the F-14, but the F-18 is a much better plane for its role. The F-35 still has some bugs to work out like the degradation of its radar absorbing outer coat by ocean elements. The F-18 is still the most reliable and proven navy fighter.
