According to the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, "The Super Hornet is 25 percent larger, can fly 40 percent further, remain on station 80 percent longer, and carry more weapons than its predecessors. The Super Hornet F/A-18 E/F models have deployed with battle groups since 2001."The new and improved aircraft became the official demonstration aircraft of the Blue Angels in November 2020, unveiled to the public at the team's first air show in 2021 held in Jacksonville, Florida. The Super Hornet's predecessor lasted more than 30 years; it will be interesting to see how long the Blue Angels use this plane.
