Historical Significance:

The F/A-18 Hornet revolutionized naval aviation when it entered service in the 1980s, combining fighter and attack capabilities in a single airframe. The A+ variant featured upgraded avionics and weapons systems, enhancing the Hornet's already impressive multi-role capabilities. VMFA-232 "Red Devils" has operated F/A-18s since 1989, deploying worldwide from aircraft carriers and forward bases. The squadron's distinctive red devil insignia and combat record make it one of the most recognizable units in Marine Corps aviation. Hornets excel in air-to-air combat, ground attack, and reconnaissance missions, proving their versatility in operations from Desert Storm to present-day conflicts.
