Description: Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA5124 McDonnell Douglas F/A-18E Super Hornet Diecast Model USN VFC-12 Fighting Omars, Red 12 / Mako, NAS Oceana, VA, June 2021Limited Edition 1:72 Scale Length WidthMcDonnell Douglas F/A-18E Super Hornet 10" 7.5" The USN has painted an F/A-18E in a scheme to look similar to a Russian Su-57 Felon. The scheme was meant to resemble the scheme on the fifth production Su-57 which the Russians referred to as "White Shark" so the staff from VFC-12 "Fighting Omars" named theirs "Mako" and use the call sign "Ambush". This shark scheme was first seen on June 18, 2021 during a change-of-command at NAS Oceana. VFC-12's new Commanding Officer, CDR Scott "CAWK" Golich is displayed on the canopy rail. McDonnell Douglas F/A-18E Super Hornet Designed as a replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk and the A-7 Corsair II and as a complement to the F-14 Tomcat, the F/A-18 first flew on November 18, 1978. Perhaps best known as the aircraft of the US Navy's Blue Angels, this carrier-capable, supersonic, all-weather fighter has many roles, including fighter escort, fleet air defense and close air support. The F/A-18 is a versatile aircraft: it can operate from carriers or land bases and a single switch converts it from fighter to strike mode. During Operation Desert Storm, the F/A-18 proved that, on a single mission, one aircraft could serve as both fighter and a bomber. Copyright 2003-2023 The Flying Mule, Inc.
