      Out of stock
     
  Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA3536; McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet Diecast Model, Swiss Air Force, #J-5011, Zaragoza AB, Spain, NATO Tiger Meet 2016. Only 800 produced.

Beginning on May 16 and ending May 27, 2016 the 15 Wing (ALA 15) hosted the annual NATO Tiger Meet at Zaragoza AB in north eastern Spain. There were 19 NATO Association members present along with 2 visiting units. The Silver Tiger Trophy (top award) was won by 31 Smaldeel (Belgium). Some of the most amazing paint schemes ever were worn by the aircraft.

Designed as a replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk and the A-7 Corsair II and as a complement to the F-14 Tomcat, the F/A-18 first flew on November 18, 1978. Perhaps best known as the aircraft of the US Navy's Blue Angels, this carrier-capable, supersonic, all-weather fighter has many roles, including fighter escort, fleet air defense and close air support. The F/A-18 is a versatile aircraft: it can operate from carriers or land bases and a single switch converts it from fighter to strike mode. During Operation Desert Storm, the F/A-18 proved that, on a single mission, one aircraft could serve as both fighter and a bomber.
