ORIGINAL: DomAviator Yeah I know, my Intruder is reefed off of Miami. Im tempted to go bring her home one piece at a time... I cannot belive they threw the old girl in the Atlantic so sport divers can gawk and fish can fuck... Well at least a few 14's have been saved for NASA, certain defense contractors etc... Clinton really fucked things up when he killed the A-12. I dont care what anyone says the F/A-18 is a mediocre fighter with a few hard points for bombs and the USN now has no decent ground attack aircraft. The thing is like one of those "multifunction copier / printer / fax / telephone / coffeepot / electric toothbrush / vibrator" combos... It does everything half assed and nothing truly well... Besides - who wants to be a FAG? (Thats what they call Hornet pilots "FAG's" for Fighter Attack Guy) LOL Yeah, the F/A-18 isnt exactly pickel barrel material. Nor is it all weather material. What didnt clinton fuck up? "Defense Secretary Dick Cheney killed the A-12 shortly after the inspector general of the Navy reported that cost overruns on the program had exceeded $1 billion (EN, Dec. 17, 1990). Several Navy officers were forced to retire as a result." He did it in such a clumsy manner that it's still being litigated. And it wasn't under Clinton. Compliments of BNET. thornhappy So that is suposed to compare to the long long long laundry list of clintonian fuckups because? They called the thing the flying dorito. It was billions of dollars over budjet, and it wasnt looking like the aircraft was going to be viable.
