Guess I was not literate enough on my point... what I meant is that I do not
believe on the advantages of the F/A-18F vs the F/A-18E. If such advanced
weapons systems as the two Air Force birds allow for a revolucionary fighter
to be flown by one, and a huge bomber just by two, there is no call for a
twin-seat Super-Bug.


For Strike you are probably right. I think the F (and G) are
probably going to end up being SEAD/ESM tasked a lot though, much like
the TARPS trained crews are specialists now in the Tomcat squadrons.
They probably don't need the second seat to use the new PGW with the
systems as good as they are now.
