The Plastic Scale Modeling Hour – The F-18 Hornet – Episode #10
WARBIRD RADIO – The US Navy celebrated its Centennial Of Naval Aviation and as part of that celebration several aircraft were given retro paint schemes including two versions of the F-18. This week on The Plastic Scale Modeling Hour we learn more about what it was like to fly the CONA F-18s from one of the demo pilots who flew them. LT Alex “Scribe” Armatas, from VFA-122 “Flying Eagles.”
He’ll share what it was like to perform at airshows such as AirVenture, flying both the Legacy Hornet and the Super Hornet during the Heritage Flights to celebrating 100 years of Naval Aviation. You’ll have you chance to call in with your questions about the Hornets and the Navy. We’ll discuss what it is like to fly an F-18 Hornet from a steel island in the middle of the ocean. So Rhino fans be sure to tune in!
We’ll be talking about modeling the F-18 too! So grab your F-18 Hornet and Super Hornet kits, accessories, references and articles from your stash, its time to take notes and hopefully listening to his program will get you motivated to get building an F-18!
