Navy’s F-18 Hornet Team to Delight Crowds at NY Air Show
County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus said on May 22 that the U.S. Navy’s F-18 Hornet Demo team will perform a demonstration at the New York Air Show on Sept. 3-4. The renowned Thunderbirds will headline the Labor Day weekend show at Stewart International Airport. “Spectators will have an opportunity to watch some of the best military aircraft in the world perform, piloted by combat veterans.” The F-18 Hornet is a twin-engine supersonic fighter jet capable of being launched and landed onboard an aircraft carrier. It has a top speed of Mach 1.8, almost twice the speed of sound, or approximately 1,200 miles per hour at altitude.
