The F/A-18 Hornet replaced the F-4 Phantom II fighter and A-7 Corsair II light attack jet, and also replaced the A-6 Intruder as these aircraft were retired during the 1990s. This part looks back at the active duty of the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18, with footage from its activity in Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf. Included is also footage of its work in the Adriatic as it runs reconnaissance missions over Bosnia. Alongside this is a profile of the men and women who fly the Hornet.
