If you do end up flying Hornets, you'll also spend alot of time wondering to yourself, why didn' the Marines buy Superhornets. What Sig didn't tell you is that the F/A-18Ds are quickly running out of FLE(life expectancy) and the C's are running out of traps. So as they wait for 2013(yeah right) they will run out of airframes. Sad but true.
