RE:RE:RE:CF-18 replacement RFP Fact is most nato country buying f-35 disagrees with your assessment. USN is buying F-18 as a stop gap measure. No different then what Aussie did. F -35 is at same stage and following similar learning curve as F-4, F-15/16/18 and F-22. The Boeing croupt market machine is in high force with misinformation. One of the euro trash fighter home countries UK is F-35 customer. Italy is even building their own F-35 under license from LM. These are facts.
