037 - F/A-18 (Super) Hornet HD

What was it designed to do? What does it do well? What ordnance does it carry? Why does it look the way it does…? …These are a few of the questions retired US Navy Lieutenant Commander Q “BBQ” Sterling answers while explaining the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet on this, our inaugural ‘aircraft series’ episode. These same questions will be posed to future guests on a variety of different military aircraft. During the listener question segment, we discuss aircraft selection regrets, aircrew height and weight limitations, where Sunshine and Jell-O were on 9/11, and what the Mutha trophy is.
