err

The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, I think will just do fine. In time the range will be increased, all the problems will be fixed, and believe it or not the only reason why the F-14 beat the F/A-18E/F was because the F-14 are flown by veteran pilots.

The F/A-18E/F will have the APG-79 AESA radar by Northrop Grumman, AIM-9X integration. The Super Hornets low RCS will compensate for the non-integration of the AIM-54

Plus it has proven to be a great strike fighter, better then the F-14D 'Bombcat' since thats what it was made for.
