The Aircraft

The Dryden Flight Research Center is now called the "Armstrong Research Center" located inside Edwards Air Force Base and operated by NASA.

We like that these planes are colored white and not quite "look like the others", lol.

This is one of 3 F/A-18s acquired from the USN by NASA between 1984 and 1991 of which this one, NA852, is a two-seater. The single-seat F/A-18 acted as a chase plane along with the camera equipped N852NA but NA850 was only used for an extra pair of eyes.

COLLECTOR NOTES:

We do not warrant against “package damage” which can occur during shipping. UPS and USPS will not insure against dented corners, wrinkled windows, or torn packaging. In all circumstances, product packaging is not warranted. We will pack this well to the best of our abilities to prevent possible damage while at the same time trying to keep your shipping cost down. These items are produced in limited quantities; however, these are still mass-produced. Once the item has been opened it cannot be returned.

100% model perfection is unlikely. Virtually all models will have some sort of imperfection if one looks hard enough, and no two will exactly be alike.
