This FY80 Hornet was delivered to the US Navy on 22 September 1982. It started its career with the USNFDS in 1987 and ended this in 1991 when it was transferred to the NWEF Kirtland. It was stored at Kirtland in mid-1994 and moved to the NAWC-AD at Patuxent River (MD) in late 1994. It is preserved at Dahlgren (VA) since July 1997.
