Ask A Fighter Pilot: Hornet vs Super Hornet!
Awesome question! This is a question I used to ask a lot while going through flight school. I am truly fortunate to have experience flying both jets. They are both awesome machines with tremendous capability, but you’ll see why I prefer the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet by the time you finish reading.
Keep in mind that these thoughts are just my opinions and dozens of others have had the chance to fly both jets (although I’d say that most of those people would agree with most of these points).

Honestly, I think the F-18L would have followed in the F-16s footsteps: It would have gained considerable weight as new missions/capabilities were demanded of it.
That was a terrific demo though. Wonder what the Flanker did (taxiing in the background as Hornet lands) to Trump that?!
