The Boeing F/A 18 Hornet has been the equipment of the Blue Angels since 1986. The F/A 18 Super Hornet was derived from the earlier F/A 18 Hornet. There are two types of Super Hornets: the F/A-18E single seater and F/A-18F two-seater. The Super Hornet entered service with the US Navy in 1999, replacing the F-14 Tomcat since 2006, and serves alongside the original Hornet. The Super Hornet is capable of speeds at Mach 1.8 which is roughly 1,190 miles per hour when the craft is located at 40,000 ft. The original Hornet was capable of Mach 1.7 The speed of sound (Mach 1) at sea level on a 59ºF day is 1,116.4 feet/second or 761.2 MPH or 340.4 meters/second. A rough approximation of the speed of sound is 1,100 ft/sec or 760 MPH or 340 m/sec. Mach 1 or the speed of sound varies with altitude, temperature and humidity.
