The F/A-18F Super Hornet is the two-seater variant of the F/A-18E Super Hornet.
It debuted in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation and sporadically appeared in subsequent games.
History
Strangereal
The Super Hornet had seen very limited use before 2015. They were first known to have been deployed during the Emmeria-Estovakia War by both the Estovakian Air Force and the Republic of Emmeria Air Force. Notable pilots included Estovakian ace Vaslav Reynek callsign Dama, as well as Emmeria's own Avalanche Squadron.[1]
In 2014, the IUN's Mobius Squadron utilized the aircraft against a resurgent Free Erusea.[2]
Super Hornets continued to be fielded in the Lighthouse War by the Osean Maritime Defense Force, the extent of which is currently unclear.[3][4]
Assault Horizon universe
Super Hornets were used by Warwolf Squadron when they fought against Big Bear Squadron who had defected to the New Russian Federation. [5]
Infinity universe
The Super Hornet was one of the many aircraft designs sold to Wernher and Noah Enterprises for their Advanced Automated Aviation Plant. This model of aircraft was very popular during Operation Eternal Liberation, being used by both the USEA Federation and the United Nations Forces extensively in almost all theaters.[6]
