description:
'The F/A-18E Super Hornet is a single-seat, twin engine, carrier-capable, multirole
fighter aircraft. The Super Hornets are larger and more advanced derivatives of the
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C and D Hornets, also known as legacy Hornets.
The Super Hornet is equipped with a large suite of sensors that includes a radar, targeting
pod, and a helmet mounted sight. In addition to its internal 20mm cannon, the Super Hornet
can be armed with a large assortment of unguided bombs and rockets, laser and GPS-guided
bombs, air-to-surface missiles of all sorts, and both radar and infrared-guided
air-to-air missiles.
The Super Hornet is also known for its extreme, slow-speed maneuverability in a dogfight.
Although incredibly deadly, the Super Hornet is also a very easy aircraft to fly.
This version is an AI-only tanker aircraft, capable of in-flight refueling.'

# DCS will clobber channel 1 of the first radio compatible with the flight's
