F/A-18B Hornet Blue Angels #7, U.S. Navy, 2011 Item: HA3520 1:72 Scale 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. VFA-192 began as VF-153 “Fightin’ Kangaroos” on March 16, 1945. In November 1946 they were re-designated VF-15A “Black Knights” followed with a change to VF-151 in 1948, VF-192 in 1950 as the Golden Dragons, VA-192 in 1956 and finally VFA-192 on January 10, 1986. VFA-192 is often referred to as the “World Famous Golden Dragons” because they flew their F9F Panthers during the making of the movie “The Bridges at Toko-Ri”. In 1986 VFA-192 moved from NAS Lemoore, California to NAF Atsugi, Japan and began to fly the F-18C in 1991. In December 2009 VFA-192 returned to NAS Lemoore as home.
