G'day all


You wouldn't believe it, I'm at a BBQ, the conversation of Australia's tired and surplus F/A-18's has come up. The topic and the conversation has turned to whether in reality the workload of multi-role combination for a pilot equates to a 'Jack of all trades, master of none.'

I've brought up the fact that in it's original specification for the Hornet called for F-18 and A-18 derivatives to meet two seperate roles.

Now naturally, as I'm at a BBQ, I don't have my copy of James P. Stevenson's 'The Pentagon Paradox: The Development of the F-18 Hornet' with me, but does anyone know a date when the USN combined the F-18 and A-18 into the F/A-18 please?
