The politics of the
situation have eliminated any reasonable chance of a Super Eagle, which is
why I joke about F/A-18s for USAF. Within the same City are two very
different political situations.



It depends on what you consider a "Super Eagle". We'll certainly
never see something along the lines of the F-15XX they were kicking
around ten years ago but an F-15E with an AESA and better engines is
easily doable. The production line isn't shutting down anytime soon
(especially if Singapore decides to go with the Eagle) so it's not
like we wouldn't be able to build them. As far as the USAF *ever*
signing up for "Super"Hornets over Eagles that's something I doubt
Vegas would ever accept bets on.
