Super hornet mby join active in 2001, but Hornets r NAVY planes used as fighter/bomber and needs fighter cover and F16 is used only as fighter CJ or CG version r used 4 grnd strikes.
Its impossible 2 compare this planes from different categories.
Mby u heard about new F-16 ACE (Israel upgade), technical dates looking good.]

I ment: The Hornet did break with long use of bigger two-seater interceptors in the navy. This radical chance must have been decided out of several considerations in the Airforce as well as in the Navy. But at this early point it seems as the navy cant (or wont) leave the old principels, why the A 18 is getting modified towards the old Tomcat!
Considerations around the quality of the Super Hornet is on this background to doubled: If the Super Hornet is better, would that only be in the terms of the navy, or is the Hornet already old and useless bacause of wrong decissions during the development?
Israeli F-16 updates:
I'm sure that any reader of this site is very interested in any informations that You would be able to provide, i.e. details, pictures & links, so lets hear much more from You!
