JETs Vol. 25-21: F/A-18C Hornet

Available through the July 4th weekend is a special edition Blue Diamonds Stars and Stripes JET featuring original livery. This ships on a new card by BVR and comes with our new aluminum hook hanging system plus a randomly colored 3D printed hook.

JETs Vol. 25-21 is cut from one of my favorite jets of all time – the F/A-18C Hornet. The legacy hornet was the mainstay of the USN carrier air wing for years, and a plane that’s been on my list for a while. The Charlie is a jet I have fond memories of waving as an LSO. 

BuNo 163777 was painted in CAG jet livery as part of VFA-192 (the World Famous Golden Dragons), and this first release of 163777 will be offered in those colors.

We've chosen to release a legacy Hornet with our RD-35XD Draken as these two would have been a common foe in air-to-air engagements over the Atlantic. 

Vol. 25-21 was cut from a leading-edge flap removed from 163777 and is offered in 2 variants: Grey and 300. The Grey are laser etched JETs, and the 300 are printed JETS featuring a full-color jet done up in VFA-192 livery as it was painted while it wore modex 300.

Also available is a 1v1, which is a double card featuring a Grey F/A-18C JET and a Green RF-35XD JET. The card, by James Martin depicts these 2 tangling at dusk. For more info on the Draken, please its listing. 

A 1v1 Set can be purchased that includes 300 + 1v1 JET + 1v1 Air Drop
