If you have a spare million or two laying around you dont know what to do with.

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

hehe....

Lets see.....

$1,000,050.00 for a bunch or F-18 parts....or $9,000,000.00 to it ready to roll....

I can see this one....

Honey I bought little tommie that F-18 he's been wanting....but you'll need to make some time to assemble it so we can put it under the tree:):)

So for $7,950,000.00 you can get some body to do it for you...how many hours DOES it take to assemble an F-18:)

I think that is saying the F-18 is soon to be replaced by a new fighter, or else the government would not have allowed it to get into the public. Heres my guess on the next naval aircraft
 F-35b with VTOL capabilities

Well, That's true that F-35 JSF will enter the Naval and include the US Marines.  I dont recall that F-35 JSF will not take F-18 place, because I have read Leatherneck Magazine of the Marines and F-18 probably will stay until 2020(dunno if that true or not).  Beside F-14 Tomacat will retired sooner like this year or next year.

Well, I just found out couple month ago that Navy Squadron VF-101(dont remember) "Jolly Rogers" will not use F-14 and they said they would use F-18.  I found it someone one the website and i guess military.com?
