Id like to see that new F/A-18F Super Hornet the Navy's usin now. Ive seen some pics of it in real life and i must say it looks real nice. Its larger than the original Hornet and a bit more faster, with larger intakes as well. Theres also a 2 seater Hornet, although I dont know whether thats the standard F/A-18F or another upgraded version. Anyways, it'd be nice if someone could make a Gmax model out of it.

PS: Theres a lot of pics and info bout this F/A-18F here www.sci.fi/~fta/aviat-5.htm Its worth a quick look.  :o

his landing speed is also reduced with 10 kts, hope this will make carrier landings a bit easier ;)
