F/A-18 Super Hornet vs. the Future: Why This Jet Matters

Video Description

At 30 years old the F/A-18 Super Hornet is far from obsolete—in fact, it’s more relevant than ever. The Navy’s future fighter is still years away, so upgraded Super Hornets are carrying carrier air wings with reliability and upgraded tech far into the 2040s and beyond. We dive into what makes this fourth-generation workhorse so hard to let go. What do you think—should the Navy finally retire the Super Hornet in favor of pure 5th-gen jets, or does this upgraded warhorse deserve its spot on the carrier deck?
