I’m Very glad the crew survived and hope for their complete recovery.
And I share your concerns about losing those planes too!
Our military capability grows weaker every year.
RE: “With the current state of our military we can’t afford to loose those planes. We might have to cut the welfare to a couple of islamist refugee families to cover the cost and we all know that’s not going to happen.”
It’s a miracle two two-seaters collide and there’s not at least one fatality. I have always loved this aircraft. It is a work horse of the highest order and has paid for itself many times over. I worked on an F/A-18 program for many years. AWESOME AIRCRAFT built by McDonnell Douglas. One of the most intimidating-looking badarse mean mofo jets of all time.
