Hornet High-G captures a Finnish Air Force F/A-18C Hornet standing on its tail in a steep climb, its blue and white tail art bright against a bank of summer cloud.
This is an original Marqforde photograph taken at the Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford. The blue and white tail marks it out as a Finnish solo display Hornet; the team has carried display-themed markings since September 2022, the first official special markings on a Finnish front-line fighter.
About the aircraft
Northrop's YF-17 first flew in June 1974 but lost the US Air Force lightweight fighter contest to the YF-16. The Navy chose it on 2 May 1975, McDonnell Douglas and Northrop reworked it into the F-18, and the Hornet first flew on 18 November 1978.
Long leading-edge extensions beside the cockpit shed strong vortices that raise the wing's stall angle. Bursting vortices battered the twin fins, so small fences were added to the extensions to ease the buffeting. The YF-17 had already shown 68 degrees angle of attack in testing.
GE based the F404 on the YF-17's YJ101 engine, raising the bypass ratio from 0.20 to 0.34. For production, the YF-17's control system gave way to quadruple-redundant digital fly-by-wire, and the dual F/A designation, for fighter and attack, became official on 1 April 1984.
Quick facts
- Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet, a twin-engine multirole fighter first built for the US Navy
- Origins: developed from the Northrop YF-17 lightweight fighter prototype
- Powerplant: two General Electric F404-GE-402 turbofans, 78.3 kN each with afterburner
- Operator: Finnish Air Force
- Notable fact: NASA's F-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle flew 385 research flights from 1987 to 1996 and held stable flight at about 70 degrees angle of attack
- Display context: near-vertical climb in display tail markings at the Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford
