Interesting read on the Super Hornet Pope. I knew that it was over weight and over budget, but I thought they had fixed the other problems by spending lotsa money
FWIW I think my buddy was on the C model when I last talked to him about it. But even though the "Super" Hornet has its problems, I don't think the solution would be another upgrade to the F-14. The Tomcat is big and complicated, requires a lot of maintenance, uses a LOT of fuel, is very un-stealthy and takes up a lot of deck space on the ship. It is however, extremely bad-assed
