History:
The Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet entered service in the late 1990s as an evolution of the legacy Hornet. Featuring greater range, payload capacity, and upgraded avionics, the Super Hornet became the backbone of US Navy carrier air wings. VFA-2, known as the “Bounty Hunters,” has operated the type extensively, conducting strike missions, fleet defence, and maritime patrols. The Super Hornet has seen action in conflicts across the Middle East and continues to serve as a versatile and reliable combat platform, embodying the modern era of carrier aviation.
