[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I know.I was talking about the first Hornets.More bang for the buck on the early birds.

Problems with the early birds: No look-down shoot-down capability (won’t fit), no helmet display support (won’t fit) so no off-bore capability, no AESA support (won’t fit), has a huge RCS, no buddy refuel capability (the Navy no longer has KA-6 tankers.)
