[About the actual machine]
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet was developed as an advanced version of the F/A-18C/D Hornet and began deployment in 1999.
Compared to the C/D model, the aircraft is larger and the fuel tank capacity has been increased, thereby extending the range.
Equipped with two F414-GE400 turbofan engines.
The armament consists of a fixed 20mm M61A1 Vulcan cannon, and the enlarged aircraft has been equipped with 11 additional hardpoints, which are said to be capable of carrying most of the weapons used by the United States, including air-to-air missiles such as the AIM-120A, air-to-surface missiles such as the AGM-65E, and bombs.
It is a multi-role aircraft that can perform a variety of missions and is therefore widely used.
The U.S. Navy's attack squadron, VFA-27, established in 1967, has been operating the F/A-18E since 2004.
It is deployed at Iwakuni Air Base in Japan and has become a familiar aircraft in Japan.
