F/A 18A /8 Hornet:
In Service: 80
Role: Combat
Description: All-weather fighter and attack aircraft. The
single-seat F/A-18 Hornet is the nation's first strike-fighter.
It was designed for traditional strike applications such as
interdiction and close air support without compromising its
fighter capabilities. With its excellent fighter and
self-defense capabilities, the F/A-18 at the same time increases
strike mission survivability.
