Looking at what an F/A-22 (single seater) and a B-2 (twin-seater) can do, I find it harder and harder to justify a thing like an F/A-18F.... Well for one thing, the US Navy can actuallly afford the F/A-18F. While it doesn't really add any more capability than the F-14D has, it is far easier to maintain :-) __!_!__ Gizmo Gizmo, Far be it from me to be a Kool Aid drinker (despite my current VFA association), but I disagree with you based on what I see the F/A-18F doing these days with HMCS, ATFLIR, AESA, and AIM-9X. There's much more growth potential based on architecture. And that maintainability counts for a lot. --Woody
