Built for speed and transformed for discovery, NASA’s F/A-18B Hornet serves as a high-performance research, chase and support aircraft at Armstrong Flight Research Center. Its two-seat configuration allows NASA pilots and flight-test engineers to work together while collecting data, evaluating new aerospace technologies and accompanying experimental aircraft through some of the most demanding environments in flight. Now wearing a striking red, white and blue Freedom 250 livery, this supersonic flying laboratory represents the perfect intersection of American aviation heritage and NASA’s continuing mission to shape the future of flight.
