If the Super Hornet is good enough for the USN and RAAF then it should be for us! Either that aircraft or Navy Rafales! Lets forget this one engined wonder the F-35B! Who knows if it will even survive! Even the US Navy seems to have concerns about the F-35C!
I know Typhoon is better than Super Hornet at air to air but what about air to ground?
Could we not do most of our training with the US Navy? Sure many of you guys would enjoy that, saves us money and maybe makes the idea one which will work!
Imagine the pride of seeing 2 Royal Navy Carriers entering service. Each equiped with Super Hornet or Rafale! We do really need the two and not just one.
