Pilotasso Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 No worries. This also means the marines will get the used F-18C's and they can continue to be embarked.

All F/A-18s going to USMC will go-to Cecil Field to be converted to C+ Standard.

USMC hornets are in terrible shape right now to the point where certain tail numbers are only cleared for certain mission types. No BFM or ACM in some tail numbers because they're afraid of the fatigue pushing the airframe past the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so upsetting the current state of our USMC Hornet fleet, all because nobody wanted to buy the Super Hornet & the F-35 took so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateZilla Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Their Fleet is less than 40% Operational... and the ones that are airworthy are only able to do specific missions due to Airframe hours. They shot themselves in their own foot.
