Third Super Hornet handed over

Boeing announced on November 5 that it delivered the RAAF’s third F/A-18F Super Hornet, A44-203, on September 30, three months ahead of schedule.

“We look forward to continuing to deliver Australia’s newest combat aircraft on budget and ahead of schedule, as promised,” said Carolyn Nichols, Boeing F/A-18F program manager for Australia. “Successful early delivery of these aircraft is a direct result of the great teamwork between Australia’s Defence Materiel Organisation, the Royal Australian Air Force, the US Navy, Boeing and the entire Hornet Industry Team.”
