Reception
Tom Basham from Computer Gaming World gave the game a score of 3 out of 5, stating: "Timing may be SUPER HORNETs worst enemy, having arrived after JANE'S F/A-18. Although definitely a solid sim, it's somewhat eclipsed by Janes representation of the F/A-18E, especially regarding the carrier landings, HARM missile operation, wingmen, and bad weather."
