In the Air: F/A 18 Super Hornet
by Lynn Stone
Review by Alyssa
This book is about a Navy aircraft carrier called the Super Hornet, which is the Navy's newest and best multi-role fighter. The Super Hornet is very fast and maneuverable. They are loaded with flying features for top performance and pilot control. The Super Hornet can be used for both a fighter or an attack plane. It can be equipped quickly to be an air-to-surface jet, or an air-to-air combat fighter.
As a true fighter plane, the Super Hornet can engage and destroy enemy aircraft in the air. As attack aircraft, Super Hornets can attack targets on land or sea, day or night. During night missions, pilots wear night goggles so that pilots can see images in the darkness. The F/A-18E Super Hornet is a single seat airplane. The F/A-18F is a two seater. The two seater super Hornet is primarily used for attack, air control missions and reconnaissance.
I would gladly recommend this book to anyone who would truly want a state-of-the-art background and information about the F/A-18 Super Hornet. Middle school is the target audience for this book.
Great job, Alyssa! I did not even know the Super hornet until now! -Akiera
