So basically the original F-18 was the A model, and there were B model trainers. Same naming nomenclature passed to the C and D model. C were single seat and D were trainer only. The F-18 as I flew them were fleet use single seat only but with the advent of the "Super Hornet" E/F models now two seaters are used in the fleet. I always flew alone because RIO's are just 180 lbs of luggage with eyeballs and I am kind of a big deal.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

Yella is correct! Originally it was single seat only with a small group of B models as trainers but now both versions exist for fleet use.YellowSnow said:
Yes, it does.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:
Question for the experts, does the F-18 come in both single seat and double seat versions?YellowSnow said:
It was as expected @Swaye . Cheesy as fuck but great F-18 cinematography.Swaye said:I'll get around to going to see this in a few weeks and then will report in here with a review. I guarantee you there is all kinds of inaccurate shit but I won't care because I am a giant fanboy for afterburners and 'Murica and anyone who isn't is a fag who can name the tim and place to fight me.
The crowd was lacking In Antifa bros.
Back seaters were really important a generation ago because of air to air encounters (that extra set of eyeballs not doing anything was important) but in modern air warfare it is basically "he with the better radar wins" so A2A is sort of a dying art form. I guess having someone in the back to tell jokes might be okay. -

I almost edited my post to add that word but was too lazy. Figured it was implied.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

So at what point can we just say that people have had enough tim to catch this movie, and if they read some spoilers, that's their fault? Can we make the noble savage's official review the opening of the floodgates? I'm itching for an Airing of the Grievances (and awesomenesses), but worry it's too soon. -
I think everyone can agree this guy is a complete idiot for acting like he just broke open the watergate scandal.
I’m also a complete for not knowing how to copy/paste a tweet -
Of course it's propaganda. Same as the first movie.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:I think everyone can agree this guy is a complete idiot for acting like he just broke open the watergate scandal.

@Swaye would be working for Orkin IRL if it weren't for Top Gun Team 'Murica propaganda. -
If a movie has USA military labels and uniforms it was approved by the Pentagon
Quite common really
If the Pentagon doesn't like it no real stuff allowed -
If I’m not mistaken, they filmed on the Lincoln. No shit it’s propaganda.RaceBannon said:If a movie has USA military labels and uniforms it was approved by the Pentagon

I rather enjoyed the propoganda.

I wonder when that guy's going to notice how fishy it is that military jets always just happen to fly over football games right before they start.
