Une bonne chose.
Où seront-ils fabriqués?

Anyway, n'en déplaise aux romantiques et nostalgiques de l'époque du baron rouge pis de Top Gun, les drones vont rendre ce genre d'avions pas mal inutiles.
Étirer la génération existante et préparer un vrai remplacement moderne, c'est bien plus sensé IMO.
Necessary but I'm not sure how good this is long term. I think we'd have to see the cost of these super hornets, was Boeing desperate to get some orders so they could keep the line open?
Still doesn't solve the issue of the longterm replacement for the CF-18; i.e F35 or not. The pessimist in me thinks they'll have an open competition but the cards are stacked for the Super Hornet now since they'll score extra points for compatibility, given we just put in a firm order but the plane is almost 20 years old.
Considering the plane they're most likely to intercept is turning 65 next year; I'd say 20 years isn't a big deal.
Yes, I was referring to the turboprop TU-95 the russkies send over every so ofen to dick us around.

I wonder why they keep these old turboprop when they got such a HUGE number of ballistic missiles. especially with their new ones that travel at like mach 6 with 14 warheads each. Every one of them is able to completely destroy an area the size of france/texas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor#Maintenance_and_trainingBy 2013, the cost per flight hour was $68,362, over three times as much as the F-16.[205] In 2014, the F-22 fleet required 43 maintenance man-hours per flight hour.[203]
Each aircraft requires a month-long packaged maintenance plan (PMP) every 300 flight hours.[202] The stealth system, including its radar absorbing metallic skin, account for almost one third of maintenance.
Fuck l'armée
fuck le plateau pi les mangeux de luzerne.
