CF-18 Hornet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The CF-18 Hornet (CF-18) is a Canadian Forces aircraft, based on the American F/A-18 Hornet. However, in every context except the most official of military documents, the planes are referred to as CF-18 Hornets. Canada was the first export customer for the Hornet, ordering 138 aircraft to replace the CF-104 Starfighter (air recce and strike, based in Germany), the CF-101 Voodoo (air interception, Canada) and the CF-116 Freedom Fighter (ground attack, Canada). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/CF18   (1035 words)

Major Deanna Brasseur - FlightDeck Aviators The sense of awe from that first solo flight on the CF-18 Hornet on the 17th of February nine years ago - the highlight and ultimate goal of retired Major Deanna Brasseur's distinguished 21-year career in the Canadian Air Force - is still fresh in her mind as she recounts her flying days. - Dee Brasseur, one of the first two women in the world to fly a jet fighter aircraft - the CF-18 Hornet, Canada's most powerful plane in its air force arsenal. Brasseur likens the intense focus required to fly a Hornet to playing a video game - only you're traveling at supersonic speeds and making a mistake doesn't just result in a screen flashing the words "game over", but well death itself. www.exn.ca /FlightDeck/Aviators/brasseur.cfm   (685 words)

McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet The Hornet serves with Escuadron 151 and Escuadron 152 of Ala de Caza 15 at Zaragoza-Valenzuela and with Escuadron 121 and Escuadron 122 of Ala de Caza 12 at Torrejon de Ardoz. It turned out that the Hornet was flown more than initially anticipated in the high angle of attack regime, where aerodynamic loads on the tail from turbulent air generated by the LERX were particularly severe, resulting in fatigue-related cracks in the tail area. The Hornet was initially to be issued to training and fleet replacement squadrons (FRS), starting with VFA-125 "Rough Riders" which was commissioned as a FRS at NAS Lemoore, California on November 13, 1980. www.csd.uwo.ca /~pettypi/elevon/baugher_us/f018.html   (17202 words)
