McDonnell Douglas (dnes Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet je víceúčelový stíhací letoun schopný provozu z letadlové lodi a za každého počasí, který je určen jak pro vzdušné souboje, tak i pozemní útoky. Navržen byl v průběhu 70. let 20. století pro potřeby amerického námořnictva a námořní pěchoty, ale do služby se dostal i v mnoha dalších zemích.

The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system.
