Most shocking to me was that UK has only 150 fast jets, I always knew they got stuff all F-35's but always assume they had lots of typhoons. Compare it to the RAAF less airframes but much greater capability. RAAF today is 55 F-35's, 24 Super hornets and 11 Growlers
Super Hornets? Greater capability?- you are having a larf!
Did you hear about the Air Force officer asking the supplier if he can get for a fuel cap for a Super Hornet.
The supplier thinks for a while and says fair swap I suppose.
