Yep, we no longer need the S-3 Viking, because our brand new F-18 SuperHornets have been found to perform best as flying tankers, rather than fighter/attack planes.

GRRRR.

Bush's flight to the Lincoln, his emergence on deck in a Naval flight suit and the nationally televised address that followed has been criticized by some as a taxpayer-funded, re-election advertisement.

Only by jealous Democrats.
