F/A 18C Hornet 'Blue Angel' (PSP5338A-1)

 This super war plane could bomb a target from a carrier deck and then engage in a dog fight. The F/A 18C was the first modern jet intended for land and air duties. The Hornet is capable of speeds to 1180 mph with a 15,400 lbs weapon load. Only capable of a range of 400+ miles, this was the only shortcoming of this otherwise great fighting jet.

This model is in the colours of the American Navy aerobatics team, the Blue Angels, which has flown F/A 18s since 1986. For the Blue Angels' transport C130 please follow this link to Fat Albert.
