	Hornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hornets are large eusocial wasps, reaching up to 35 millimetres (1.5 inches) in length.
		The true hornets make up the genus Vespa, and are distinguished from other vespines by the width of the vertex (part of the head behind the eyes), which is proportionally larger in Vespa; and by the anteriorly rounded gasters (the section of the abdomen behind the wasp waist).
		The name "hornet" is used for this and related species primarily because of their habit of making aerial nests (similar to the true hornets) rather than subterranean nests.

	F/A-18 Hornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		F/A-18 Hornets (A and B variants) were first test-flown in 1978, and entered service in 1983, replacing the F-4 Phantom II and the A-7 Corsair II.
		The Hornet was among the first aircraft to heavily utilize multi-function displays, which at the switch of a button allow the pilot to perform either fighter or attack roles or both.
		The Hornet is also notable for having been designed with maintenance in mind, and as a result has required far less downtime than its counterparts, the F-14 Tomcat and the A-6 Intruder.

	F/A18 Hornet in service with RAAF
		Hornets delivered to the RAAF were assembled in Australia.
		The F/A-18 Hornet replaced the F-4 Phantom II fighter and A-7 Corsair II light attack jet, and also replaced the A-6 Intruder as these aircraft were retired during the 1990s.
		The Australian Hornet program was for the first two aircraft to be entirely assembled by McDonnell Douglas (McAir) in the USA with the remaining 73 to be assembled by the Government Aircraft Factories (GAF) in Victoria.

		HUG Phase 1, which upgraded the Hornets' communications and navigation capabilities, is nearing completion and under the current upgrade, fitment of the Raytheon APG-73 radar, new mission computers and electronic warfare equipment will raise the combat capability of the Hornet to a new level.
		The Super Hornet is obviously a major contender under AIR6000 to replace the Australian Hornet, and the commonality aspect will be a consideration, even though the later E/F Hornets will have a newer technology radar than the APG-73 fitted to the first E/Fs.
		The Australian Hornets that are currently progressing through HUG Phase 2 are the first aircraft outside the United States to be fitted with the new Raytheon radar.

		The Hornet would become the de facto supplement to the F-14 Tomcat in the fighter world as well as the replacement for the A-7 Corsair II light attack aircraft and (to a limited extent) the venerable A-6 Intruder.
		Nevertheless, the visionaries that stood by the Hornet would ultimately be vindicated, as this aircraft would become the launch platform for new generations of precision-guided weapons, eliminating the need for carriage of larger numbers of bombs to attack the same target.
		In this third Hornet release, we have the long-awaited two-seat F/A-18D and it is every bit as impressive as the two F/A-18Cs that preceded it.
