Update: F/a-18a/B
Classic Hornet Bound for Classic Fighters
Omaka
The fastest
jet fighter to date to debut at Omaka Aerodrome just got
faster
The F/A-18A/B Classic Hornet is a
multi-role fighter, single seat aircraft and has a maximum
speed of 2,200 km/h (Mach 1.8), as opposed to the 1,960km/h
(Mach 1.6) of the FA-18 Super Hornet.
Spokesperson, Graham Orphan said “Of course we're delighted to be hosting any of the stunning FA-18 Hornet series jet fighters at this airshow but at the risk of stating the obvious, it makes more sense to have the Classic Hornet performing here at Classic Fighters Airshow, and of course, the Classic Hornet is faster, so will arrive sooner, so we could not be happier to be hosting these awesome machines!”.
