  In March 2023, the F/A-18F Super Hornet operated by VX-9 of the United States Navy marked a significant milestone as an unarmed version of this versatile aircraft. VX-9, also known as the "Vampires," serves as the Air Test and Evaluation Squadron, responsible for assessing the capabilities and performance of various aircraft and systems. The unarmed F/A-18F Super Hornet in this configuration was likely engaged in testing and evaluation missions, focusing on the aircraft's non-combat functionalities.
  While the specific F/A-18F Super Hornet from VX-9 in March 2023 may not have been directly involved in conflicts, the Super Hornet family has a robust history of active service. Its predecessors, the F/A-18A/B/C/D Hornets, have been deployed in various conflicts, showcasing the platform's adaptability and combat effectiveness. The Super Hornet's multi-role capabilities make it a valuable asset for the U.S. Navy, capable of performing missions ranging from air superiority to ground attack.
  Aviation enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a meticulously crafted 1:72 scale model. This replica accurately reproduces the details of the aircraft in its unarmed configuration, allowing collectors to appreciate the technological advancements and testing capabilities of this iconic naval aircraft.
