Q. What do you do if your lagacy F18s are running out of life?
A. Buy a heap of recently modified jets from an ally whose politicians say they no longer need them, at a cut down price as spares for your existng fleet of the same type.
Q,What do you do when you have the ally's jets?
A. Forget the idea of using them as spares but stand up two squadrons of the Harrier 2's to complement your existing fleet of Harrier AV8B's.
Yes that is what is happening on the other side of the pond. The USMC have had an amazing bargain as a result of "Call me Dave" 's decision 18 months ago.
Are the UK Media aware of this amazing c*ck up?
Do you think that our cousins are going to offer us a sweetheart deal on the F35 as a thank you for this friendly way of replacing the ancent F18s?
