I served in VFA-15 at cecil field in 1994-1997. I was a plane captain on AJ 314 Buno 164678. I was and is still the best fighter aircraft out their. I love going to the air shows and hearing the APU fire up and spool those engines. That sound takes me back. If you could add VFA-15 Valions to your list of squadrons that would be great. Thanks!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! The Tomcat is by far superior to the F-18, I know that the risk of an enemy aircraft now is slim to none, but if an F-18 went up against any Fairly modern Russian or Chinese fighter, its dead, the F-14 was truely one of the best fighter aircraft of all time, and the Navy should never have retired it and cancelled the upgrades, and definately shouldn't have spent so much money on hornets.

VMFA-451 flew the A model of the Hornet, not the C model. VMFA-251 flies the C model in Beaufort, SC. I worked in the powerline shop from 1994-1997 when we were deactivated.

You need to change the date vfor beginning of service for this aircraft. You have 1962, but there were no Hornets in service then - I was there!
Perhaps 1982 or '83?

You'd probably fuck that up too. Get a life, wanker. Bill Ely eats floppy donkey dicks.

Actually, I thought really hard about it and have come to the conclusion that you are right. I am a blubbering idiot, and the most technical thing I should ever try to attempt is make toast.

Are you serious? You want to build an F-18 simulator in your back yard? Did you ride the short bus to school? Did it ever back over your head? Sounds like a yes to both of those questions. Why don't you start with something small like building a concrete wall to beat your head against. Then move on to something more technically challenging; like a robotic friend, so you'll have someone that you can program to give a shit.
