Proceeding along the F/A-18F route will lead you to the F-35B. I personally don't like it, but many, many, people use it thanks to its great speed/agility combo. More importantly, before it, there is the Antenna Link gear, which is one of the few parts in the Aircraft Tree which uses the purple squares.

Both the Hornet and the Fulcrum should be pretty straight-forward to get. As for proceeding... well, don't rush: you are going to need money to buy each piece. Make sure to earn as much as possible!
