I thought the Hornet's primary role was to replace the A-6 Intruder.The Intruder was supposed to be replaced by the A-12. The D model Hornet has been a band aid that has failed in that role. The Hornet was designed to replace the A-4, A-7 and F-4.

I note the Corps did not buy. What are your thoughts on this? (Believe me, I do understand that the Corps is always underfunded.)

Wish it carried the AIM-54 ... or that we developed the ALRAAM for it. It's another serious issue.
