thx
Models A-F:
A - first single-seat model (up through Lot 9 IIRC)
B - first two-seat trainer
C - updated single-seat (Lot 10-21)
D - updated two-seat trainer (USN/USMC training squadrons)
D - USMC VMFA(AW) fleet aircraft - missionized two-seaters (think F-15E like) (Different LOT numbers between 12-17 that I can remember at least but I didn't pay too much attention)
E - Super Hornet single seaters
F - Super two-seat trainers (see Note)
F - USN two-seat missionized (think replacement for the F-14s - with more capability)
Note: BDGER - I'm assuming there are trunk stick and throttle model Fs in the FRSs too. Correct?
