what fighter would you have had the buy to replace the classic instead?
Classic hornet is gone from RAAF service. RAAF will be super hornets / growlers and F-35's
buying anything more now would probably be a bad move, only way is if there is something modern that has a way cheaper per hour than both the F-35 and super hornet, maybe buying / leasing some of them.
