Thanks for the info John and Snerdley. That's exactly the kind of stuff I
was looking for.

You didn't say whether you wanted the "regular" Hornet, or the Super
Bug...

From the NATOPS for the Super, I get the following numbers:

Slow - 9.3 to 90

Slightly Slow - 8.8 to 9.3

On-Speed - 7.4 to 8.8

Slightly Fast - 6.9 to 7.4

Fast - 0 to 6.9

It says on-speed should be about 136 KCAS at 44,000lbs GW, subtracting
1.5 KCAS for each 1,000lb under GW.

The "manual" for Jane's F/A-18 has the exact same numbers for the
regular Hornet - but no airspeed listed.

Yes, I know it was a game, but their test-pilot/tech expert (Jim
Campisi) was an actual Hornet driver and the lead developer was a
former Hornet radar guy (Matt Wagner) who was stickler for getting it
as right as they could...
