Hornet Haul catches a Finnish Air Force F/A-18C hauling up into a climb, nose high, every panel line and the twin fins picked out in black and white against a sky full of cloud.
This is an original Marqforde photograph taken from the crowd line at the Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford, in July 2023, and finished in monochrome so the shape of the jet carries the picture. The same solo display Hornet appears in colour on our Hornet High-G phone case.
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.
The Finnish solo display team has carried display-themed markings since September 2022, the first official special markings on a Finnish front-line fighter.
