Is this in light of the carriers coming online?
Comments anyone?
The first ones we bought in the early '80s are still flying with over 10,000 hours on the airframes. Possibly time for some replacements, not extras.... That statement certainly reads like the same original buy if they're talking about a contract that quickly - it's only a year since the original announcement and we all know how quick MOD procurement is!
