Recognizes 30 years of F/A-18 Super Hornet service to US national security.
Sponsored by Representatives Wagner (R-MO) and Lieu (D-CA).
Introduced in the House, referred to Committee.
This House Resolution aims to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the F/A-18 Super Hornet's first flight and three decades of service to the US Navy and its allies. It recognizes the aircraft's achievements, contributions to national security, and acknowledges the dedication of the pilots, weapons system officers, and maintenance teams. The resolution is sponsored by Representative Ann Wagner (R-MO), whose district includes the aircraft's manufacturing site, and Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA), representing a state with significant Super Hornet operations. Being a resolution, it expresses the House's sentiment and does not become public law; it was referred to the House Armed Services Committee for consideration.
Introduced Jan 8, 2026
This resolution has been introduced in the House of Representatives on January 8, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services. For it to advance, the committee would need to consider it and potentially vote to send it to the full House floor. If passed by the House, it would then represent the official sentiment of the chamber. As a House Resolution, it only requires passage by the House and does not move to the Senate or require the President's signature to take effect.
If passed, this resolution would officially bring more attention to the F/A-18 Super Hornet's significant 30-year history, reminding the public of its role in US defense operations worldwide. It would also serve to formally recognize the critical work and sacrifices made by the US Navy personnel—pilots, weapons system officers, and maintenance crews—who operate and support these aircraft. Furthermore, an official copy of the House's recognition would be formally transmitted to the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri, acknowledging the aircraft's local origins.
