Thanks for the comeback and the update.

Do I hear you saying that the playing field has been leveled, and spades are being called spades? I.e., ability over PC bullsh!t?

Damn shame Grumman tried to get rich overnight on re-opening the Super Tomcat line -- it really is a Hellofanairplane! Grumman miscalculated very, very badly and the USN (and the taxpayer) paid a huge price for their greed.

Truth time: Is the Super Hornet as good as the Super Tomcat? Air-to-air? Air-to-mud? What is the cost of the Super Hornet?

Air-to-Air, about even if I'm in a "D" Altitude will decide it, but I can run if in a bad position. Air-to-mud, not even close, the Bombcat is a better platform. The Super Hornet is an super waste of money at $40m apiece. The Tomcat is a better fleet defender, if not as nimble as the Super Hornet. The Super Hornet is underpowered, overweight, and has a mysterious wing-drop problem. Makes a great Texaco though.

Yes. Probably because if one more woman screws up, they will halt their eligibility. They still get a fitness break, but nobody gets through the pipeline on BS or kneepads anymore.
