Thank you for the info..it's about time that GM started to listen to their
buyers concerns. Some times I wonder if any one at GM actually drives the
cars they design....some of the features are useless and stupid whereas

some
things that could aid a driver are lacking.

When I worked on the F-14 design team we were super careful to listen all
the users comments /suggestions .



what part of the Turkey were you involved with ?
(and was that the A/B/C or D variant).

From my perspective as squadron aviator and then as NADEP project officer,
Grumman was not particularly interested in user input. That may have been
because the marketing department kept the users and the engineers well
segregated.

As a fleet user(VF-31) and guy who flew operational test(VX-4) in the
thing, I have to agree. The only A/C I have flown that seemed to have
the pilot and maintainer in mind was the F-16(VF-126).

Do you have any time in the F/A-18 (any version)?

We spent significant amounts of engineering time making (our part)
of the bird maintainable.
"They" told us at the time that it was the first bird to be so designed.
