Not usually . . . there are some used for training, but most are single seaters.

IIRC, the F/18 -A, and -C are singles, and the -B and -D are two seaters, usually for trainers
with the Super Hornet E/F models, I figured they'd follow suit with the E a single and the F a two-seater ... however I saw an two-seater they said was an E so maybe they've gone two seats full ... anyone confirm? PD?

According to
Joe Baugher's Military Aircraft website:
- The F/A-18B was built as a trainer (indeed, they were initially designated TF/A-18A). It has dual flight controls and full combat capability.
- The F/A-18D, the 2-seat version of the F/A-18C, was built as a two-seat night-attack craft, with only one set of flight controls. While this is mainly a Marine aircraft, the Navy does have a few for training and test purposes.
The F/A-18F (2-seat version of the -E Super Hornet) is designed to fill the role of the -D model.
