Its not the f-22 export restriction thats funny , it the decision to go with the Super Hornet without any kind of competition or tender process.

As a hi/lo mix the Super Hornet and JSF do not seem to be a good choice, if you were going to have two aircraft types, why would you choose these two and not for example a Typhoon/JSF mix, these are at least complimentary!, and a couple of airforces will operate that mix, with tactics and training thats suitable for Australian exchange pilots etc.




Cheers
