Good legs, decent payload, but really slow.
Are you sure about the range part of the SuperHornet???I've read numerous articles criticising it's combat radius when compared to stuff like the Strike Eagle or CFT equipped F-16s.Which is probably why those 2 aircraft still are winning orders,while the more modern Super Hornet still has a bare cupboard.I think there was an article in Janes last year or so about a proposed "Block-3" variant to hedge against delays in the JSF.It's supposed to be more stealthy,uprated F-414 engines & possibly conformal fuel tanks.Now that's a possible winner on the export front!!!
