It's a good but not great warplane, and went into service because of problems the Navy had with it's own stealth attack aircraft design back in the time of the F-117. So the FA-18 is already a second choice at that level. It is not much better than the Russian Mig-35. It has NO stealth whatsoever.<br /><br />Since we now have only 186 F-22's and will make no more and 1 squadron of F-35's (grounded), it's simply IMPERATIVE we get control of the F-35 program and learn to make them well and cheap. There is NO alternative. Additionally the F-35 can take off and land vertically like the AV8B Harrier. Anyone seeking to purchase the F-18 had better plan on buying both aircraft.Epaminondashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811906954763827459noreply@blogger.com
