It's only the second batch of Super Hornets, it's looking like
that
third batch isn't going to be bought. And it looks like the 90
Growlers
are going to be part of that 210.

Nice speculation Chad, but as usual, you are mistaken.

Nope. The recent buy of 210 is only the second batch out of what was
supposed to be 538, and it's not likely to be extended (since this buy
is only good through 2010).

Actually, the original purchase was for 526 and if you check Boeing's
website there are about 20 additions, today. As posted by Doering,
IIRC.

I've seen different numbers, but even with the 526, that's a lot less
planes (less than 450, and 90 of those will be G models, instead of the
500+ F/A-18E/F).

210 + 222 = 432

You don't really get how business is done, Irby.
