Stearmandriver Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Super Hornets do. This is not a Super Hornet. The E / F models are Supers... this is a Legacy.
ruddy122 Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 That’s what I thought until I saw pictures of Glass UFCs and I became confusedI thought F/A-18Es and Fs had the glass UFC fullSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LUCKY:pilotfly::joystick: Computer Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz| GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 6Gb | RAM: 32 GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz | OS: Win 10 64 bit | HD: 500 Gb SSD

Stearmandriver Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Oh, you're saying the book shows a legacy model with the glass UFC? I misunderstood, sorry. That's interesting... dunno then.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk some foreign operators like the Finns or Swiss with thier F/A18C had more modernization than USN in their legacies, and have same glass touchscreen UFC's olike Super Hornets including full colour LCD based DDI's. take this for example. Can still tell its a F/A18C due to the legacy style fuel/engine display Edited February 5, 2021 by Kev2go Build: Windows 10 64 bit Pro Case/Tower: Corsair Graphite 760tm ,Asus Strix Z790 Motherboard, Intel Core i7 12700k ,Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 64gb ram (3600 mhz) , (Asus strix oc edition) Nvidia RTX 3080 12gb , Evga g2 850 watt psu, Hardrives ; Samsung 970 EVo, , Samsung evo 860 pro 1 TB SSD, Samsung evo 850 pro 1TB SSD, WD 1TB HDD
ruddy122 Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 It’s weird because the Hawkins Book is mostly a picture book but it’s kinda weird that the F/A-18C for the USN and USMC is labeled as full glass UFCsI can understand foreign Hornets but Navy and Marine legacy Hornets?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] LUCKY:pilotfly::joystick: Computer Specs CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 3.4 GHz| GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 6Gb | RAM: 32 GB DDR4 @ 3000 MHz | OS: Win 10 64 bit | HD: 500 Gb SSD
Harker Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Some F/A-18Cs do have glass UFCs, but we're not talking about the USN Legacy Hornets now, at least AFAIK.An example is the Spanish EF-18. The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord. F/A-18C, F-15E, AV-8B, F-16C, JF-17, A-10C/CII, M-2000C, F-14, AH-64D, BS2, UH-1H, P-51D, Sptifire, FC3 - i9-13900K, 64GB @6400MHz RAM, 4090 Strix OC, Samsung 990 Pro
