PRE ORDERS AT BUY GONE WORLD
Pre orders we take very seriously, why not secure the model you want now before they either sell out or go up in price when released IF there is still stock of them, purchasing early does work very well for serious collectors.
This is how it works
Every PRE ORDER listing has a advised launch date which has been given to us by the manufacturer, the received by date in this listing is created from the postage policy we use in eBay, this date is very rarely accurate as the maximum postage policy is only 30 working days. Pre orders can all get delayed by the manufacturers without notice to us, we have no control over this, all models are limited numbers in stock and we do pre sell out of certain ones, restock on most models now doesn't happen most of the time, the manufacturers are simply making so many new livery they now seem to create a run then finish it in one go, which is making these releases more and more desirable.
You are always welcome to ask a question, you will always get a answer and if you desire to cancel please simply message us direct, eBay cases do not help anyone and as a business we close them 24 hours after they are opened, which will refund you and cancel your order with us, so a simple question always works the best.
In 2018 the USN decided to supply the "Blue Angels" with early production Super Hornets. In 2012 F/A-18E 15666 c/n 1517/E020 was assigned to VFA-106
Gladiators" as AD-114 and painted in the squadrons 1967 Vietnam War A-4 Skyhawk colors. In 2018 the aircraft was transferred to VFA-146 "Blue Diamonds" as NH-302. In 2020 165666 became part of the USN "Blue Angels" Demo Team. In January 2021 the aircraft wore the number 3 but in February the number was changed to 1. 2021 will mark the 75th Anniversary of the "Blue Angels".
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18E Super Hornet
Designed as a replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk and the A-7 Corsair II and as a complement to the F-14 Tomcat, the F/A-18 first flew on November 18, 1978. Perhaps best known as the aircraft of the US Navy's Blue Angels, this carrier-capable, supersonic, all-weather fighter has many roles, including fighter escort, fleet air defense and close air support. The F/A-18 is a versatile aircraft: it can operate from carriers or land bases and a single switch converts it from fighter to strike mode. During Operation Desert Storm, the F/A-18 proved that, on a single mission, one aircraft could serve as both fighter and a bomber.
