F/A-18 Hornet

The F/A-18 Hornet is an E2 powered, all-weather, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation). Designed by GeneralofKills and Strayed, the F/A-18 was derived from a fin airframe that was given to Strayed by GeneralofKills in mid 2019 for use by the AEF's Navy and Marine Corps.
The F/A-18's top speed has not been measured. It can carry a wide variety of bombs and missiles, including air-to-air and air-to-ground, supplemented by twin 14.5mm ACF machine guns. It is powered by an E2 propulsion chip, which gives the aircraft a high maneuverability profile, however has been significantly reduced for its active duty roles (non orange painted airframes). The fighter's primary missions are fighter escort, suppression of enemy air defenses, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance. It is designed as a well rounded aircraft to provide for every role until specialty aircraft are designed and built. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable asset.
The Hornet has yet to see wartime combat but has provided air defense for servers including Area B7R, Trump's Hair, and San Loma. The F/A-18 Hornet served as the baseline for other variants that remain classified.

==== Origins ====
The F/A-18 was initially proposed in mid 2018 when the AEF was seeking aircraft for the purpose of fighter support during the growing tensions between AEF and IZK, but did not posses any resources to design or produce any form of domestic fixed wing aircraft and the idea was abandoned until early to mid 2019 when Strayed began developing aircraft for the AEF. The F-18 airframe was given to the Strayed by GeneralofKills and was made operational by the AEF, giving it full Block-II upgrades.
==== Improvements and design changes ====
The F/A-18C has been brought up to date with Block-III upgrades as of August 2019.
