Sure. I could also argue that the full mission capability 3 Rhinos are capable of may be less than a flight consisting of an F-22, F-15E, and an A-10. There's an argument and counter argument for every decision. In an ideal world our platforms are modular so we can take advantage of both specialization and standardization.

WHOA dude, F-18 can do all of those things, put down the crack pipe!!!!

I actually think this is a master stroke by the USAF.

Wonder how much having the Japanese surrender on USS Missouri factored into the Navy trying to gain favor with President Truman? (Missouri was his home state - and Truman was former Army)

This poor guy does a yeoman's job of navigating that minefield.
I couldn't imagine getting blindsided with that on a Thanksgiving morale/PR call being recorded live. He did a great job though, best he could. Should be a primer for next Thanksgiving for the poor deployed AF sap chosen to get asked questions about next generation aircraft live on air.

You know every MFer at NAVSEA was hanging on every word of that conversation. 😂

I have to say I’m impressed with the skipper in the conversation. Do CVN CO’s get a charm school where they learn to talk like that? Obviously he knows much more of the subject matter than I (he being a CVN skipper), but I thought he hung in there well, and didn’t miss a beat

Also, is that real? I dont believe that is real…..
