ftrplt; off the theme I know and ignoring your rude opinion of me, maybe you should think a bit more outside the propaganda square.
An estimate of enhancement cost for the F-111 to maintain a good capability out to about 2030 was around $2.5billion whereas the Super Hornets will cost something like $6.5billion.
In a 3 or 6 month snapshot of Afghanistan ops for the USAF, offensive air racked up 10,000 hours with 4,000 hours of tankering support.
Super Hornet requires K-30 to achieve things the F-111 could do without tankering so that does not equate to cost-effective operations in my view.
