for you TE WATCH: F-4 Phantom Bids Fond Farewell With Final Flight
Again an annoucement surprising ...
1/ Trump calls Boeing to price Super Hornet against F-35
2/ The CBO wants to stop F-35 orders!
1/ Envisaged Advanced Super Hornet a new variant with CFT and pods for weapons
He is cheaper yes about 65 mill $ good AESA radar weapons load but have a weakness her range for heavy fightet similar F-16 CR on average of 900 km in geenral others heavy fighter + 200 km and USN need have CAW with a more long range F-35C do CR 1150 km, Advanced Super Hornet is not stealth low observable very different.
2/ F-16, last want also about 60/70 mill $ a new variant with APG-83 a E/F block 70 remains completely capable but also less good CR 900 vs 1100 F-35A price decrease regularly all the Ft Worth plant now build F-35 remains only a little line for last Iraqis F-16 in addition the F-35A have a more big weapons load.
It is a good choice severals years ago ordered a mix of F-16E/F waiting F-35 get better... now normaly so late not logic confirmed by price now F-35A want 102 mill sure in 2019 max 90 eventually 85 and a new F-16 want more so this little difference is not interesting in comparison with capabilities.
For F-35 and stealth now one advantage but the number of radar capable detected increase ( no targeted right now ) and possible in 10+ years stealth get detected almost as normal aircrafts at long range and targeted except new technologies ? so the number is the more important for power.

Yes Sir ! sorry Yes Madam
NO SIR!, lets hope the Marines stay as they are, the USAF's greatest threat is "CHICKIFICATION",,,, look around you gentlemen, how many women have "any interest in the SDF??" basically none.
If women had any real interest and desire for the military, they would be all over the Sino-Defense Forum!
I have a wife and seven daughters, not one of them would make a fighter pilot, not saying they couldn't, but that "Killer Instinct" is NOT THERE! I have had several of them in the airplane, not one of them have chosen to fly, they like flying, but they are not interested.
Being a service member is not about "breaking down the glass ceiling", its about engaging in the manly are of warfare, and employing the manly tools of the trade!
