How many total aircraft tie down points are there on the F/A-18 E/F, and where are they located?

The F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet has a total of twelve aircraft tie down points. These tie down points are specifically located on both the Main Landing Gear (MLG) and the Nose Landing Gear (NLG) as well as on the fuselage. This design allows for secure and stable ground handling of the aircraft, especially during operations on aircraft carriers or in adverse weather conditions. Each tie down point is strategically placed to ensure the aircraft remains securely fastened to the ground, preventing any movement during high winds or other environmental factors. Understanding these tie down points is crucial for proper ground operations and safety compliance in handling the aircraft.
