Another surefire way to determine if you’re looking at a Legacy Hornet as opposed to a Superbug is the round air intakes for the big F414 engines. The easiest way to tell them apart is looking at the shape of the LEX strakes, which are more round on the Super Hornets, or the elevators, which have squared off edges on the E/F models. To the casual observer they appear to be the same aircraft, but the E model is approximately 30% larger and carries a lot more internal fuel. The F/A-18E is the single seat version of the Super Hornet, and is the larger version of the C model. This refinement created the larger and superior E/F models, known as Super Hornets.

After nearly twenty years of service and many major model (C/D) and Avionics block upgrades, it was time to refine the Bug. With two thirsty afterburning engines aboard, the early Hornets had a very low combat radius, even with external tanks, especially when carrying large, heavy and high drag load outs. One of the Hornet’s biggest problems in the early day was its limited range. Since the early days, the Hornet’s mission has evolved and expanded to include roles ranging from Fleet Defense to Attack to SEAD/DEAD, and more recently Electronic Warfare/Jamming and Refueling. The Hornet, or Bug as it’s often called, was the world’s first true multi-role fighter, which can shift missions from air to air, to a ground attack role with the flip of a switch, hence the F/A (Fighter/Attack) designation.
