The 7:30 Report was intresting in what it didnt say, they did not look at what the RAAF preffered or other flying credable options (yeah Flankers are great airshow stoppers but their not for the likes of us) , forget the F22 Carlo, it just aint gunner happen, at least for the foreseeable future!
Now that Nelson has buought the SuperBug, and the JSF rolls around on time and budget perhaps we can then keep the 'Bug and convert them to F18G's?
In an ideal world the perfect replacement for the Pig would be the FB22, but then again this is only a CAD aircraft, lets buy the best option for now and in 15 years time look at a mature aircraft mix F22/FB22 + JSF.
now I'M dreaming!
