Same way we are heading with the F-18s, and in fact with the average age of a jet jockey, they are all probably younger than their rides............

lew Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 I saw a show awhile back where they were saying the F18's are so outdated they can't be retrofitted with the most up to date electronics to work in conjunction with the America F18's but didn't go into any details on the problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
