On the first day of the last month of this winter, the honored deck fighter called the Hornet was sent to the honorary retirement by the US Navy.
Recall, the deck fighter F / A-18 was developed by McDonnel Douglas in the 70s and later was repeatedly upgraded. In total, about 2,000 Hornet fighter jets were produced during the production, which are in service with the Navy and the US Marine Corps, as well as the armies of Australia, Spain, Canada and other countries.
It is noteworthy that the F / A-18C Hornet will remain in service in the reserve units of the US Navy. In addition, the Hornets continues to use the US Marine Corps, which even conducts their modernization.
