Apparently, the Navy negotiated for the data rights to the aircraft so they could keep it going after Boeing walked away. Maybe the Navy plans to get someone else to build more down the road?

The Super Hornet is functionally obsolete and is at the end of its line.

The F18 is done, but the F15 keeps chugging along, huh?

So where and when can I pick up a spare F18? LOL.

I’m sure SloJo will be more than happy to sell the assembly line to China…

Probably China.

[Does so]

“Maybe the Navy plans to get someone else to build more down the road?”

Biden said he needs the F-15 to use against “domestic terrorists”...

As air defenses continue to improve around the world, including through use of AI, non-stealth aircraft and their crew become ever more vulnerable.

It takes a lot of time and money to train military fighter pilots, so placing them in a position to be shot down or killed unnecessarily simply isn’t a long term option.

Unmanned attack drones with stealth capacity are the future.

I would have a good laugh if they gave the project to Airbus. :)

Boeing will keep making them because someone from the Missouri congressional delegation will keep funding the production line, even if the Navy doesn’t want or need them.
