Description ‘Space and Aviation Firsts’ © 2024. The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a supersonic twin-engine all-weather night fighter and attack aircraft. The F/A-18s first flew in November 1978 and the first 1987 production switched to the F/A-18C. Variants A and C are single-seat aircraft while B and D are tandem-seats. The Hornet can operate from either aircraft carriers or land bases with the capability of in-flight refueling. A total of 1,480 A-D variants were built. The Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) has operated McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet fighter aircraft since 1984 purchasing 75 “A” and “B” variants. The Hornets entered service with the RAAF between 1984 and 1990, and 71 remained in operation as of 2017. The other four Hornets were destroyed in flying accidents during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Aircraft History A21-27 514/AF-27 Ordered 11/1981.

About RAAF No. 3 SQN (source Wikipedia) No. 3 Squadron is a Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fighter squadron, headquartered at RAAF Base Williamtown, near Newcastle, New South Wales. Established in 1916, it was one of four combat squadrons of the Australian Flying Corps during World War I, and operated on the Western Front in France before being disbanded in 1919. It was re-raised as a permanent squadron of the RAAF in 1925, and during World War II operated in the Mediterranean Theatre. Equipped with McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet multi-role fighters from 1986, the squadron deployed to Diego Garcia in 2002 to provide local air defence, and the following year contributed aircraft and crews to the invasion of Iraq as part of Operation Falconer. In April 2016, it deployed to the Middle East as part of the military intervention against ISIL. On 8 December 2017, No. 3 Squadron ceased F/A-18 flight operations, followed by the disbandment of the squadron. All of its Hornets and most of its personnel were transferred to No. 77 Squadron. No. 3 Squadron was re-established 14 December 2017 at Luke AFB in Arizona, under the command of Wing Commander Darren Clare. Australia’s first F-35, designated A35-001, was manufactured in 2014, with flight training provided through the international Pilot Training Centre (PTC) at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. By 2021, the Royal Australian Air Force had accepted 26 F-35A aircraft, with nine in the US and 17 operating at No 3 Squadron and No 2 Operational Conversion Unit at RAAF Base Williamtown. With 41 trained RAAF pilots and 225 trained technicians for maintenance, the fleet was declared ready to deploy on operations. It is expected that Australia will receive all 72 of the F-35s by 2023. Mission Profile Australia [source RAAF and Wikipedia] About the F/A-18A/B – The F/A-18A (single seat) and F/A-18B (twin seat) Hornets are multi-role fighter aircraft, capable of air-to-air and air-to-ground missions.

Based at RAAF Base Williamtown and RAAF Base Tindal, the F/A-18A/B Hornets have been operated by: Number 75 Squadron, RAAF Base Tindal; and Number 77 Squadron, RAAF Base Williamtown. In recent years, the Hornets have participated in a range of exercises including Exercise Bersama Lima and Exercise Bersama Shield in Malaysia, Exercise Red Flag in Alaska, and Exercise Pitch Black in the Northern Territory. The fleet has undergone major electronic upgrades to ensure effective operations. Air Force’s F/A-18A/B Hornets will be replaced with 72 advanced F-35A Lightning II aircraft from 2018. The F/A-18A and F/A-18B Hornets can undertake: air interception; air combat; close air support of ground troops; and interception of enemy supply lines including shipping.

Please order now so that you do not miss out! Make this Fantastic Executive Model yours! Collectors’ Hint – What are my choices with Model purchasing and collecting? It is the nature of the Space and Aviation market that Space and Aircraft Models and Kits of important space or aviation flight vehicles tend to be limited in production and sell very quickly. An example is the premier diecast models like these. All production ‘runs’ are limited with no guarantees that there will be more. Consequently, they become Limited Editions in their own right. Some models may be ‘re-launched’ on significant anniversaries. I suggest when an opportunity presents itself, make the decision for your model collection and act! Note: This is serious and enjoyable premium quality Aviation Model Collecting. If an offer is to be made, please understand the offer needs to be very seriously ‘close’!
