No one here is thinking pilots dont want the f-35. It's the newest plane out there. But what's missing in this context is who they're flying for. We just wasted, literally threw 1.5b out the door at crazy Tim's used f-18 super hornet discount outlet.

The pilots may want the f-35. But the government buys the equipment, not the people who use it. We should be hoping they get new airframes and engines of whatever model they buy and not used.

Would not shock me in the least that they get a bunch of new f-18s. Because in the governments minds, that's as close to what they are using right now. Go with what you know.
