No disrespect meant, of course! The hornet is my absolute favorite modern fighter, bar none.
However, I've only ever seen it used in reference to the E/F model hornets, but that was with the term 'super bug'.
Also, I'll sign up for the marine corps on the spot if you can bring a B/D model to PHX for a little incentive ride...

Respect for the Legend, Please!
USMC:
Please remember, the venerable F-4 Phantom was the "Rhino" back in Vietnam!
And yes, look at the flaps on the Bug--he can't go much slower. (I've never heard that nickname either, and that is funny!!)
Both jets may have rolled out of the same factory, but the "Super" guys need a different nickname for their jet!
How about Megasecoptera? It was the largest bug that ever lived--wingspan of 6 ft (but it lived 250 million years ago).
