F18E/F (the F model is very similar to the G as an airframe):
Combat Range: 1,275 nautical miles (2,346 kilometers), clean plus two AIM-9s

From the graphic above the F35B has a combat range of ~450nm!

The Super Hornets have about 1/3rd more fuel than the older bog-standard Hornets that you may be thinking of.
just make sure you aren’t comparing range and radius...
