History

The Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet is the two-seat variant of the U.S. Navy’s principal carrier-based multirole fighter. Operated by the Naval Air Warfare Development Center at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, aircraft assigned to the TOPGUN programme are used to train Navy and Marine Corps aircrews in advanced fighter tactics, air combat manoeuvring and mission planning. Their distinctive markings help identify instructor aircraft during training exercises and have made TOPGUN aircraft popular subjects with aviation enthusiasts around the world.
