Wrong answer shipmate the Hornet is the Brewester Buffalo. How many times is this gonna be batted around? The F18 causes the carrier battle group to loose almost 450 NM of striking range. It cannot at all ever ever ever break Mach1 below 10K even when clean and in burner, It doesnt have the payload of the F14 and when you consider the true cost of R&D, new manufacturing and tooling etc etc etc etc, it doesnt cost any less for a new " " (I hate that airplane) than it does to mod an F14. IT IS POLITICS PEOPLE NOT AIRPLANE **** ! :brick :brick IT DOES NOT REPLACE EITHER THE F14 OR THE A6. There are some awesome numbers posted on the Warthog territory forums about this subject by guys that are really in the know on these things. If anyone gets a chance you oughta check them out. I know you have been in on a few of these rather lengthy and heated discussions Ross. Sorry guys I dont mean to vent.
