Historical description and usage:

The F/A-18A/C Hornet is a multirole fighter aircraft developed in the United States by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing). It entered service in the late 1970s, and its advanced versions are still in use today. The F/A-18 in the A/C version was introduced into the armed forces of the USA, Australia, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, Finland, and other NATO countries. The aircraft took part, among others, in Operation "Desert Storm" in 1991 and NATO missions in Bosnia, carrying out both fighter and ground-attack missions. Its modular design and advanced avionics still make it one of the pillars of the US Navy's carrier-based aviation.
