Refined title: OPO 10 1/100 Military Fighter Aircraft Compatible with McDD/Boeing EF-18M Hornet Spanish Air Force 2008

The McDonnell Douglas/Boeing EF-18M Hornet was a versatile fighter aircraft used by the Spanish Air Force in 2008. The Spanish Air Force received a total of 60 single-seat versions (F/A-18A) and 12 two-seat versions (F/A-18B) of the Hornet. The Hornet was used for interception in all seasons and as a night and day fighter-bomber. The Spanish Hornets are sometimes referred to as EF-18A and EF-18B, with the "E" signifying "España" (Spain) rather than "Electronic," as would normally be the case for an official designation by the Department of Defense.

The Hornet was used for ground attack, suppression of enemy air defense, combat air patrol (CAP) in Bosnia and Kosovo, under the command of NATO, while stationed at Aviano (Italy). Six Spanish Hornets were lost in aircraft accidents by 2003.
