	Description Edit \| History

Hornet Leader is an exciting solitaire game that challenges you to command squadron of F/A-18 Hornet strike-fighters in an almost endless variety of combat missions. From the decks of U.S. Navy carriers you lead your squadron against 26 different target types - from naval strikes and fleet air defense to fighter sweeps and ground attacks.
