Talk:Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

Potential operators - Canada

Hi, the article states "Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that pending sale of 18 fighters to Canada along with a possible sale of another 70 was adversely affected by Boeing's actions against competitor Bombardier Aerospace of Montreal.[136] These included a complaint to the U.S. government about Bombardier selling CSeries passenger aircraft to Delta Air Lines at unduly low prices. As a result, in late September 2017, the U.S. Department of Commerce proposed a 219% tariff on CSeries aircraft to be imported into the U.S." However, my update which I believe is relevant to the article: "On 26 January 2018, the four USITC commissioners unanimously determined against Boeing that the U.S. industry is not threatened and no duty orders will be issued, overturning the imposed duties. Boeing declined to appeal the ruling." was reverted. Any editor agree with my edit? Thanks. --Now wiki (talk) 23:42, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

• I didn't remove it, but there's little in your new text to tie to the relevant text with a long paragraph in between. That should be part of the existing tariff paragraph for it to make complete sense, imo. I'll look into doing this... -Fnlayson (talk) 00:15, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Head-on views aren't great for the first recognition image for an article. (Hohum ^@) 19:27, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

• That's a good image, but not a good choice for the main image in the Infobox. Side views generally better show the aircraft. -Fnlayson (talk) 20:15, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Coating/Paint

Among the RCS reduction measures is also the coating. Nothing like the F-22 or F-35 but it was a consideration. I could easily find sources for Block II and III. --Moritzgedig (talk) 09:07, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

F-18E Super Hornet profile photo.

I believe this has a much more clearer photo of the F-18 Super HornetMhayes3 (talk) 07:26, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

The current image provides a better view of the configuration of the aircraft so I dont support changing it to your suggestion. MilborneOne (talk) 17:39, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Flight crashes of the F/A-18

U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Richard Bullock died when his F/A-18E Super Hornet crashed in the vicinity of Trona, California, on Friday 3 Jun 22 afternoon.

“Friday’s incident marks the fourth Super Hornet crash since 2019. In 2019, one crash resulted in the death of the pilot and minor injuries to seven civilians who were hit by debris when they gathered at a scenic route to watch the fighter jets,” The Washington Examiner reported.

“A crash in 2020, and one last October, resulted in both pilots safely ejecting from their planes during training missions,” according to NBC News. “One landed in Death Valley National Park, while the other landed in the Mojave Desert,” the report added.

Blocks such as 1 2 and 3 info on variants?

Should they be listed, the block III is listed as “Advanced Super Hornet”, but capabilities match those of initial block III proposal. CFTs are no longer being ordered by the US Memelephant (talk) 23:59, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
