ShrikeHawk Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I'll bet it handles like a drunken pig with a limp... Quote
dsawan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 No, keep the E-2C hawkeye. enuff of one can do it all. Quote
Rambler 1-1 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 All we need is for the entire navy to be running Hornets, then somebody comes up with a disproportionately effective bug spray... Quote
herman01 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Why not? I was just hearing from a naval aviator today talking about how great for logistical reason it is to have aircraft used for so many purposes. No need to buy so many different parts or train people on so many different aircraft. Saves a lot of money. Money than can elsewhere to strengthen the military overall. I'm a big fan of the bug and super bug. Quote
dsawan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Yeah, true, it does save money. but the hawkeye is a specialist plane with specialization in AWACS. i also like the idea of keeping reliable and proven aircraft. Quote
+EricJ Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Agreed, sometimes specialization is better than trying to do everything with one airframe. Quote
+Gr.Viper Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Somebody should photochop the entire fleet using only Hornets. Could even make it a troop transport, with a big net hanging from the hook. Quote
+ST0RM Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 The guys who built that model, Darren Roberts, is a friend of mine. He can build really well and cranks out some top notch work. It's a crack-up listening to him describe some of his ideas and then seeing them done. Quote
Rodent Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 When is the hornet that does the same job as the AC-130 coming out? Quote
dsawan Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Still miss the A-7's though. i wish those were never retired and simply upgraded. pretty accurate platform for strike missions. Quote
shotdown Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 lol! Where's the cargo bay and Refuel tank? where's the sonar? Quote
bwild Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Stick a rotor on it, and it will be the new SAR helicopter. Quote
Viper6 Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 And the Catapillar drive and ADCAP torps for ASW Quote
