- Given that Australia is buying them for their Super Hornets yes.
- "The proposed sale will improve Australia’s capability to meet current and future threats by providing advanced, long-range strike systems for employment from Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) air platforms including, but not limited to, the F/A-18F Super Hornet"

Tanker fuel type
Article says Super Hornets in the tanker role mainly use JP-4, but they do not. They use JP-5 instead and this is well known. 2601:601:8480:A100:D0D4:B097:9128:5E8A (talk) 10:28, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
MACH Numbers
The given Mach number is wrong.
Yes, I know it is sourced from the manufacturer, but they made the mistake to divide the speed by the speed of sound at sea-level, instead of using the values for high altitudes.
Speed of sound at sea-level: 666 kn => Mach 1.6 Speed of sound at altitude: 573 kn => Mach 1.8 2A02:908:1225:C20:8029:E581:7A64:BEBF (talk) 22:23, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Correct. This happens in many, way too many articles. I will correct the mach number. Diego bf109 (talk) 20:39, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Air to Air Missile Section
In my opinion, the A2A missile section under specifications shouldn't contain used weapons' loads; it should have maximum missile counts and the types of missiles it can use, and that is it. Decooldude (talk) 03:16, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- A better place for the weapon's loadouts could be under design or operational history. Decooldude (talk) 03:17, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
