I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like to be caught in a Super Hornet any distance from home either.
From what we are being told by the analysts:
- lacks range (needs inflight refueling support)
- not stealthy (they will be waiting for it)
- lacks top end speed (will be run down by current Russian fighters)
As a taxpayer, I really hope we can get out of this costly raw deal.
I would really like to see the F111s patched up to bridge the gap until our next generation aircraft arrive.
