China Lake, Calif. (Dec. 15, 2005) -- An F/A-18F Super Hornet assigned to Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Nine (VX-9) returns to itsÕ home at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake. This aircraft is one of the first Super Hornets equipped with the revolutionary new APG-79 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, which could eventually give naval aircrews a quantum leap in tactical capability over older aircraft equipped with mechanical radar systems.
