"12 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft and 12 EA-18G Growler aircraft and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $3.7 billion."
we will then have a 24 sqd of growlers which we will keep, the 12 new and the 12 already wired
as per the original plan....our stop gap 24 SH, which is now 12 new and 12 existing, will be looked at these being replaced when we have ~75 F-35 with the prospect of taking our fleet to ~100, this has always been the case
Canada is a different story, they aren't looking for Growlers or a stop gap, so I don't see a SH buy on their horizon
