Oz just has to worry about fighting in the far east, Israel/Turkey in the Middle East, where as US has to be able to fight all over the world. WHy do you think the Israeli and Saudi F-15's are designed to fight only in that part of the world. If they payed the Full price for a US version, they would get a plane that would be able to fight in any part of the world. JMO
