Svejedno, F/A-18 je još jednom dokazao da je odličan avion, kad se vratio kući sa takvim oštećenjima, i da piloti nisu paničili.

We just delivered the final F/A-18 Block II Super Hornet to the U.S. Navy. Hear from F18 SuperHornet chief test pilot Elliott “Hemo” Clemence about what game-changing capabilities the Block II brought for more than a decade, plus what the next-generation Block III will provide the U.S. Navy and international partners.

Thrust Vectoring - on an F18 Hornet! The Story of the NASA Dryden HARV Project:
The F-18 HARV or High Alpha Research Vehicle was a NASA testbed used to study performance at high angles of attack or alpha. The aircraft flew from 1989 to 1996 in a 3 phased research program that progressively added modifications to the Hornet. Let’s take a look at the specifications of the F-18 HARV.
Specifications
Length: 56 FT (17.1 M) Height: 10 FT 6 IN (3.2 M) AT CANOPY Wingspan: 37 FT 5 IN (11.4M) Maximum speed: initially Mach 1.8 (1,190 MPH/1,915 KMH), subsonic with later modifications Phase 1 weight: 31,980 LB, WITH 6,480 LB OF INTERNAL FUEL 14,506 KG / 2939 KG Phase 2 and 3 weight: 36,099 LB ALSO WITH 6,480 LB OF INTERNAL FUEL 16,374 KG / 2939KG
Engines: Thrust Class Each General Electric EACH F404-GE-400 turbofan engines, each producing 16,000 LB of thrust 71.17 kN WITH afterburner.
The aircraft that would become the F-18 HARV was actually a pre production F/A-18 and the sixth one ever built. Having been assigned Bureau Number 160780, this particular F18 was chosen as a testbed because it had a spin chute installed as the NAVY had used it to evaluate spin performance and recovery. Under NASAs use the aircraft was designated number 840.
The HARV program was a joint effort between NASA's Dryden, Ames, Langley and Lewis research centers. By the time NASA received the aircraft, it had been cannibalized for spare parts so extensively by the Navy it was assumed that the aircraft would never fly again. In fact, the engineers cataloged 400 missing parts and virtually no documentation of the existing wiring system. To get 840 airworthy, the mechanics and technicians had to cut out the existing wiring, find substitute parts, assemble and rewire the aircraft. By the time they were done, the words “Silk Purse” were painted on the fuselage, a take on the expression you can't make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

An F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to the “Royal Maces” of VFA-27 launches a high-speed anti-radar missile (HARM) as part of a joint force sinking exercise (SINKEX) targeting the decommissioned frigate USS Curts (FFG 38) as part of Exercise Valiant Shield 2020. An EA-18G Growler assigned to the “Shadowhawks” of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 141 launches a high-speed anti-radar missile (HARM) as part of a joint force sinking exercise (SINKEX) targeting the decommissioned frigate USS Curts (FFG 38) as part of Exercise Valiant Shield 2020. Valiant Shield is a U.S. only, biennial field training exercise (FTX) with a focus on integration of joint training in a blue-water environment among U.S. forces. This training enables real-world proficiency in sustaining joint forces through detecting, locating, tracking and engaging units at sea, in the air, on land and in the cyberspace in response to a range of mission areas.

Predložena verzija F-18L koju je trebalo da pravi Northrop. Sa letelice bi bila skinuta sva mornarička oprema za poletanje i sletanje, te se računalo na značajno poboljšanje letnih performansi. Verzija je bila namenjena pre svega izvozu: A land-based version of the Hornet known as the F-18L was also planned. Since it did not have to carry any equipment for carrier-based operations, the F-18L was expected to be significantly lighter and better-performing than the carrier-based version. Although no orders had actually been received, it was anticipated that the F-18L would be an attractive proposition for those foreign air forces who wanted and could afford an aircraft with greater capabilities than those of the F-5.
As part of the original partnership arrangement between McDonnell Douglas and Northrop, it had been agreed that McDonnell Douglas would be the prime contractor for the carrier-based F-18A version of the Hornet, with Northrop being the prime contractor for the F-18L land-based version. The partnership between these two aerospace giants did not always go smoothly, and strains between the two corporations began to show almost immediately. In particular, a major disagreement arose over sales of the F-18L. It seemed that whenever foreign purchasers showed an interest in acquiring the land-based version of the F-18, McDonnell would immediately mount an active sales effort, putting the carrier-based McDonnell F-18 in direct competition with the land-based Northrop F-18L. Northrop management became very unhappy about what it perceived to be McDD's violation of the terms of their agreement, and in October 1979, a series of lawsuits was launched, with Northrop claiming that McDonnell was unfairly using Northrop technology developed for the F-18L to sell its own F-18A abroad. Northrop also charged that McDonnell was trying to sell Israel a version of the F-18 that competed directly with the Northrop F-18L. Northrop asked the courts to restrain McDonnell from trying to sell to any foreign government any version of the F-18 which took advantage of Northrop technology to the detriment of the latter company. The case dragged on in the courts for years, and was not settled until April of 1985. At that time, it was agreed that McDonnell Douglas would be prime contractor for all existing and future versions of the Hornet, and Northrop terminated all work on its F-18L land-based version.
