I feel like this F-18 moniker was coined during the murder hornet invasion of 2020 by some dude, and then aviation geeks have since tried really really hard to make it a thing. Stop trying to make murder hornet happen! It’s not going to happen! 🙅‍♂️
Kinda rude to make this reference and not affix a picture of Rachel McAdams....😎

No, this name came up internally. It’s origin is from the Ike deployment and their lesson learn document that had names for several different configurations of which this was just one that stuck.
