Yes, emitex, that one is but we have to buy a few of those so that the QFIs have somewhere to sit. If we didn't they would have to chase the new boys in single seaters - then they would have to learn to fly.

I'm with ORAC - needs a Nav to take care of the complicated bits when all is changing by the nanosecond. Won lots of fights against superior performance single seat chaps who were maxxed out with weather, darkness or simply workload.

At least you can tell the quality of the Nav's input by the tone of his voice - that's more than you can say for the automatic version.

It will be interesting to see the ECCM capability of the weapons system - presumably it will have to use a lot of automatic features. That might make it easy to defeat.
