the SuperHornet is an amazing design. i mean, it evolved from the A/B/C model...basically going beyond the Hi/Low doctrine...to what the Navy needed; a longer-ranged, fleet-defending, multi--role, air-superiority and fighter-attack jet... it did all of that, by being very maneuverable, losing top-speed, extending the range, increasing the pylons, improving to an AESA radar...BUT, it should've been made with one more space for as a two-seat configuration...something tells me, in the fighter-jet and attack roles...you need two people...like the F-15EX. so, even though the design is finished... it could've been better, if they'd realize the basic need for a weapons officer... as an export model, the F-18E would be good for a small island's defense - it's far more maneuverable than an F-15, and an F-16 is just faster...possibly more nimble, but can't turn as tightly. where the numbers are small, the budget is small, but the need for a high quality fighter-jet is high... because a single pilot is cheaper than two. and two engines are safer than one...
Some machine, love it 👌✈️
Wow! This is by far the best Airshow videography have EVER seen! Great work 🤩
Thank you so much I really appreciate that!
1:48 WOW!
the f18 is truly amazing.
Indeed, caught it a few times this year and never tire of seeing it! Thanks for watching!

There is an area called ‘the mound’, it’s on Google maps, it’s the main place people go

God the hornet has got to be the most boring aircraft there is
