Program:
: Haagen Klaus -The Age of the Super Hornet: A Historical and Scale Modeling Overview of the F/A-18E/F in U.S. Navy Service.
The first two decades of the 21st century saw most of the U.S. Navy's diverse range of carrier-based naval aircraft replaced by the F/A-18 Super Hornet. The presentation reviews the key events in the development, flight test, ongoing operational lifetime, and future of the versatile F/A-18E and F/A-18F. Throughout the talk, key features of the Block I and Block II aircraft will also be examined with an eye to the scale modeler.
