RUSTYMORLEY Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 It is hard to believe that it took so long to develop this aircraft and get it into front-line service with the US Navy. 40 years that's half a frigging lifetime. !!!!!!! Quote

It didn't take 40 years to develop... and the USN has already retired them from front line service. The program started in the early 1970's, first flight 1978, service entry 1983... start to finish it was developed over about 10 years. Quote
