You should have just bought the fast-build kit.....I thought you Fed's had some computer that would cross check anything and give you a comprehensive answer.

The Boeing Company called and said they're all out of "help" ....

But > 5 minutes on Google got me the answer ...

The F/A-18 Program Manager (and his staff) at Pax River (aka PMA-265) are who you should contact. Be prepared to tell them why you need to know or simply file a FOIA request. If you asking in an offical capaciy, you can easily establish your Bona Fides with PMA-265 and they will steer you to their Class Desk, ASPO or APML/PSTL; any one of whom would know. If this is a personal request, then FOIA is there as a path to obtain info that is deemed releaseable to the public. You try some Googlefu on sites other thanBoeing as they aren't in habit of revealign their hundreds of subcontractors. However, the folks who make the displays likely are bragging about it on their websites. There aren't that many "glass" houses so I suspect you could find your answer pretty quickly. Otherwise, asking for "official" info in a public forum like this "inhabited" by active duty aviators is a party foul.

Actually, FEDLOG will do exactly what you're asking.

This thread has gone on long enough...

Move along, now. Enjoy your Saturday.

I think you were missing the point of why no answer was being given....especially by the mods.
