Zitat:Boeing is retiring its F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jetshttps://www.stripes.com/branches/navy/20...31745.html
Boeing plans to end production of its F/A-18 Super Hornet, the fighter jet that wowed movie audiences in last year’s “Top Gun: Maverick,” after more than 2,000 deliveries over 40 years.
The aerospace giant will stop manufacturing the fighters after it hands over the last Super Hornet to the U.S. Navy in late 2025, according to a statement Thursday. Boeing expects to move the 1,500 workers who support the jet — from mechanics to finance staff — to other military aircraft programs, such as the T-7 trainer, a spokeswoman said. [...] The Super Hornet is the second storied Boeing aircraft to glide into retirement this month after the Arlington, Va.-based planemaker delivered its final 747 jumbo jet on Feb. 1.
