If you think the Hornet is only 20% complete, you are out of your mind. It's far more complete than that. They also acknowledge where they are heading, what's not in (yet) and what they do about things they literally have to guess at for obvious reasons (or what/why they obfuscate some things as well). It's fine to criticize, but this over-dramatic hyperbole doesn't advance any points and serves only to weakly attack something that you aren't exactly aware of yourself.

It's cool that you have that pick of the VMFA-531 Hornet on your wall. I was at El Toro when they decomm'd that unit. Along with (just previously) VMFP-3, on their RF-4B's. Then not a few years later, they shut the whole friggin base down and moved stuff all over SoCal, mainly to Miramar (which actually started out as a Marine base, oddly enough...). You're doing the Marines that flew/fly these legacy Hornets proud, just wanted you to know that.
