Blue Angels will switch to Super Hornets in late 2017

F/A-18's have J models?

I stand corrected. I hadn't kept up to date with how many J models have been delivered.

I guess that they are starting to have the same issue with supporting the legacy hornets which is why they are switching now.

I haven't heard where the bird is coming from. There is only one legacy squadron left and they are due to transtion in 2020 i believe.

No, Fat Albert. The mighty Herk.

12 mil will buy a weeks worth of paperwork and a dozen golden pens.

It's just the ante.
