I'm hoping that someone, somewhere decides to keep a CF-18 or F/A-18 in
flyable condition in another 20 years or so. I would hate to see the
drones take over everything.


After the US has been undrgoing the refit of F-18's upgrading them to
Super Hornets, you can be sure they will be in the air in active military
roles for many years, and many years after that in display examples.

Hi Jim! I hope you are right. It would be a shame. The Hornet is a beautiful
and capable aircraft and it would be a shame to see it disappear. Right now,
it is a bit "common" as there are so many flying for the US, Canada,
Australia, and a few other countries. Still, when you see the Blue Angels in
their F-18s, you know you are seeing something very special.
