- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet “Knighthawks,” Bureau Number 166817, assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-136 in 2024, is part of the United States Navy’s frontline carrier-based strike fighter force. Operated by the United States Navy, the Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet is a highly versatile platform capable of air superiority, precision strike, close air support, and electronic warfare support. As part of the “Knighthawks” identity, VFA-136 carries forward a proud naval aviation tradition while operating one of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the fleet.
- In 2024, 166817 operated aboard the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) as part of its deployed Carrier Air Wing. From the deck of Truman, VFA-136 Super Hornets conducted a wide range of missions including maritime security operations, joint exercises with allied navies, and deterrence patrols in strategically sensitive regions. Carrier-based F/A-18E operations routinely involve long-range strike training, air defense drills, and integration with other carrier strike group assets such as E-2D Hawkeyes and EA-18G Growlers.
- While “Knighthawks” missions in 2024 were primarily focused on training and deterrence, the F/A-18E platform has a proven combat record in multiple modern conflicts. Super Hornets have supported operations in the Global War on Terrorism, including sustained combat deployments over Iraq and Afghanistan, where they performed precision strike, reconnaissance, and close air support missions. The aircraft continues to serve as a core element of U.S. naval air power, ensuring readiness for any potential future high-intensity conflict.
- This 1:72 scale model is a striking tribute to modern carrier aviation. Featuring authentic squadron markings and the sleek Super Hornet design, it captures the power, precision, and presence of today’s naval strike fighter. Perfect for display or as part of a modern military aviation collection, this replica honors the strength of carrier air wings, add it to your collection today for a bold and dynamic centerpiece.
