Well there you go. My Dad was a mechanical engineer retired. If I would have been smart would have done Robotics Engineering, instead of Aviation, oh well I love Airplanes. Ever since working on F14 Tomcats.

Until The F35 comes along the F/A 18 is it. Even the F18 has taken the E/A 6 B role, as the E/A 18 G .

Us Air Force guys remember when you Navy guys dropped the F-14 over the side with a cruise missle attached to it. Then had to race the Russians to the bottom to keep them from getting hold of it. Airplanes and boats just don't mix hahaha
