This Senate resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter jet's first flight from Lambert Field in St. Louis, Missouri on November 29, 1995. The resolution recognizes the aircraft's three decades of service to the U.S. Navy and allied forces, highlighting its role as a carrier-based, supersonic fighter manufactured in St. Louis and used by squadrons based primarily at Naval Air Stations Lemoore in California and Oceana in Virginia. The Super Hornet has seen extensive combat action, including recent operations defending shipping in the Red Sea and strikes in Yemen and Somalia, and serves allied nations like Australia and Kuwait. The resolution honors not only the aircraft's contributions to national security but also the pilots, weapons officers, and maintenance crews who operate and support these jets, with no funding provisions included as this is a ceremonial recognition measure.
