U.S. Navy tactical air (tacair) pilots are highly trained aviators qualified to operate advanced fighter jets, including the F/A-18 Super Hornet, T-45 Goshawk, EA-18G Growler, and F-35 Lightning II. These pilots undergo rigorous training at naval air stations and on aircraft carriers, mastering carrier-based flight operations that are critical for global missions. The F/A-18 Super Hornet is a twin-engine, multirole fighter jet designed for air-to-air and air-to-ground missions. The T-45 Goshawk serves as the Navy’s primary jet trainer, preparing pilots for operational aircraft. The F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation stealth fighter equipped with advanced avionics and sensors. The EA-18G Growler is the Navy's premier electronic attack aircraft and is based on the F/A-18 airframe. Naval air stations and aircraft carriers are the operational centers where these pilots develop and apply their skills.
