JFC...there are two very good alternatives already available and in service, both have been flying students for a while. I really hope the Navy doesn't screw the pooch on this one but I am wary they will.

See Post #152, this thread. You are all (mostly) experienced professionals, so you can draw your own conclusions.

By the way, that Textron Airland design from my link was never sold, nor was it licensed to be reproduced by another company. Just sayin'...

Personally, I like your jet. I’m cheering for the Heartland Hitter!
 
I might be missing the obvious. Are we saying that the SNC design is a copy of the Airland? It looks like the Airland has a big ol' straight wing a la Citation and the SNC is a swept wing design....

I'm not an experienced professional, but is it really too much to ask to have the next one ready to go when the last one is about ready to be put out to pasture?

Announced a few weeks ago, at least 1 Strike student from each class is going back to the boat. Strike studs have still been doing the exact same amount of FCLP's as their E2 counterparts (180 min to start phase 1 FCLP's, 250 min to start CQ in Phase 2), but CQ for Strike students has been concluding at the field while the E2 folks head off the next day for their 10 passes that count. It was explained to us that the logic of having 1 per class (randomly assigned, won't know who until right before flyoff) is to motivate both paddles and strike studs to give a shit more during the CQ phase.

It’s basically a handful of strike students from each squadron who complete CQ during a boat work up. I DID know I was going before I started the phase but most of the other squadrons didn’t know till after the field check.
