Battlefield 2 F/A-18 E/F - Super Hornet
Battlefield 2 Aircraft
Battlefield 2 F/A-18: Originally conceived as a fighter for the US Air Force, the F/A-18 found itself in the hands of the US Navy, which saw it as a perfect replacement for older, carrier-based aircraft. Production of the plane began in the late 1970s and the first Hornet arrived on station in 1983; the upgraded “Super” Hornet made its appearance a decade later.
The F/A-18 is the most versatile aircraft ever produced for the US military. It can perform a variety of missions including strike, air superiority, and reconnaissance sometimes even during the same sortie. With 11 weapons stations on board, the plane can be fitted with a variety of guided air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles as well as laser-guided bombs.
•The impetus for developing the Super Hornet was its Hornet predecessor’s lack of range, speed, and firepower.
•In 1986 the F/A-18 Hornet became the official airplane of the Blue Angels flight demonstration team.
•The F/A-18’s first combat action took place in Libya when the United States launched a series of strikes there in 1986 in response to a Libyan terrorist attack.
