The Corps - no to the Super Hornet
At least the Corps policy is clear;-) They rather suck all redundant
Navy F/A-18A+/C than let themselves to be sucked into F/A-18E/F&EA-18G programme. However, at some point that could mean the whole All- Weather Fighter Attack (F/A-18D) community going single-seaters, and vanishing of their recce/FAC(A) function. Best regards, Jacek On 22 Cze, 20:38, Mike wrote: Walsh noted that even if the Marines' F/A-18Cs and A+ models wear out before they can be replaced with F-35Bs, Navy F/A-18Cs replaced by Super Hornets could be used by the Marines until more STOVLs are available. "We can't have a big huge beast," Walsh said about the need for STOVL JSF. "We need a small footprint."
