    FIRST FLIGHT FOR F/A-18E
    (Article from Aviation Weekly)
    McDonnell Douglas' first F/A-18E Super Hornet made an abbreviated first flight from St. Louis Lambert International Airport on Nov. 291995. The aircraft was flown to a maximum altitude of 10,000 ft. and speed of 250 kt. by project pilot Fred Madenwald. An environmental control system caution light cut the planned 70-min. flight short to 26 min. Mechanics are troubleshooting the aircraft, which should return to flight early this week.
