Is this a hornet?

All out.

Never seen anything like that. A yellow jacket with a rash.

European hornet, 100%.

edit: Given the 'roundiness' of the body, it's surprising there are no pictures of one painted like a hornet.

A flame thrower would have been better.

The "Brake Cleaner Flame Thrower" has been deployed in the past. Usually with great satisfaction I might add.

However, with great power comes great responsibility. Risks include but are not limited to great bodily injury, setting one's house on fire, and threats of "War Crimes" charges from the wife.

Can’t believe no one has mentioned these hornets.

Fight hornet with Hornet.
