McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 No. 1 Aircraft Blue Angels 2010
Hobby Master HA3514B 1:72 scale
General Background
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a supersonic twin engine all-weather night fighter and attack aircraft. The F/A-18s first flew in November 1978 and the first production flight on April 12, 1980. The first 380 aircraft were F/A-18As and in September 1987 production switched to the F/A-18C. Variants A and C are single-seat aircraft while B and D are tandem-seats. The Hornet can operate from either aircraft carriers or land bases with the capability of in flight refueling. A total of 1,480 A-D variants were built.
The Aircraft
The Blue Angels have flown 9 different types of aircraft since their inception in June 1946. Since November 1986 their aircraft of choice has been the McDonnell Douglas (Boeing) F-18A/D Hornet but they have since re-equipped with the "C" variant as the main aircraft. These aircraft are former fleet aircraft that are at the end of their carrier arrestor capability and have been modified to perform and survive the rigors of aerial demonstration flight. Greg McWherter commanded the Blue Angels from November 2008 until November 2010.
