Keeping that...
I loved the plane, but have been told they were high maintenance, up to twice as high as an F-18. They used to put garbage cans under them to catch the leaking fuel.
I would have tried to find a way to keep them nonetheless.

So...not retiring F-18s, mostly concluding upgrades/replacements from As to Es.
