The whole situation sucks for us. We have 55 F/A-18As, 18 F/A-18Bs and 24 F/A-18Fs (Super Hornets). The Super Hornets were purchased when it started to become apparent how delayed the F-35s would be. Since then the situation with the F-35s has become even worse. We were supposed to buy 72 F-35s but now? I think the ADF and the Australian Government are caught between a rock and a hard place.
Thanks a lot Lockheed Martin. Usually we Australians like to be kissed before we're sodomised. No kiss for us eh?
