Webmasters Note.  These were the planes that I worked on in the Navy. They weren't the fastest, they weren't the prettiest, they weren't the most popular, but they carried a lot of bombs, Lots!  I talked to a F-18 pilot at the Quad Cities Airshow 1999.  He said these planes flew beautiful, he really liked them.  I talked to an F-16 pilot at Oshkosh, he also said that this was a wonderful plane.   All I can remember is that when this plane was in the air, coming down on the airbase at near 700 mph.  it was beautiful.
