And what is worse is they are going to be the F/A-18A/B. As I understand it the Incremental modernization, program started in 2001, brought the current fleet fleet up to C/D standards. We are literally paddling backwards now. The longer it is put of the more money is wasted on band aide solutions...but hey at least weed will be decriminalized :doh: . I know that some of the current CF-188s have been cannibalised already to keep the others flyable, I would guess that is what the Ausi purchase was for?
