Interestingly models of aircraft operated by the Malaysia and Indonesia did not make it to the shortlist. There are a million ways to interpret this. One of them is to avoid any hesitation by the pilots when going head to head? That's certainly a consideration. Plus the recognition factor when US forces are in the area. USN a/c not likely to fire on an F-15. They'd be well advised not to fire on a Typhoon either, since it's better than anything the USN is likely to have for some time (and I think the F-35C falls in that category). -- "It's easier to find people online who openly support the KKK than people who openly support the RIAA" -- comment on Wikipedia (My real email address would be if you added 275 to it and reversed the last two letters).
