"The military aircraft listed below have no VMC established by the manufacturer. " from the above link, and the F18 is in the list.
There is a Vmc for the hornet, I think the rhino as well. This is defined in the NATOPS, I am not sure Boeing or McDonnell Douglass defined it. The FAA should update their list. I know some folks who have had this discussion with some FSDO folks and have gotten nowhere.
Sorry I can't add to your question. I am doing what you are planning. For a couple reasons; one to add more check boxes to the application and other as a means to stay current. I have a none-flying guard gig lined up for the transition; if I don't get something prior to leaving AD I will need to maintain currency at some point (for some companies to be looked at). I thought this might be a method to stay current cheaper than out of pocket.
