F/A-18A/B/C/D Lot 5 to Lot 14 (1200 hrs over 2.5 years). Failures:
9 radar overheats (same ac 9 times over one weekend), had to recycle it every 15 mins but it worked fine.
1 partial INS failure after t/o, re-aligned in flight
1 generator failure
1 gearbox failure
0 FCS failures
0 Engine failures
Never (not once) climbed out after signing for the jet; you remember the failures because they were that rare.
Tornado F3 (1500 hrs over 15 years - every radar standard from X-list to the end, albeit not very much of the final version). Failures:
Radar c10% complete failure and c10% partial (single TWT, Lock, etc).
MMS: in the early days you were hard pushed to get a rocket off the jet under any circumstances, but that improved significantly.
Fair number (over 10) engine failures - rarely complete, but they did all require changing (on one occasion both at the same time after a double VIB - which wasn't in the FRCs).
Numerous hydraulic (and CSAS) failures, including a utilities failure right out of the factory on pick-up.
And you needed two INSs for the number of times one went walkabout.
I didn't climb out very often (though I knew plenty who did at the drop of a hat) but I climbed out many more times than I wanted to, especially for CSAS - though that also got much better, over time.
Now let's talk about reliability...
