RAAF Super Hornet story in The Australian

RAAF pilot on a high with his super new Hornet

Nothing new here apart from some glossing of the Super Hornets. While I like them I think that 24 of them will never ever replace the F111 in substance (half the range of the PIG too!). They are a gap filler like the post below says for the F/A18s, not for F111s. What are we going to do here? Put half the Air Force under maintenance, scrap the F111s and then wait for 10 years for the F35s to be delivered?

Why don't we build our bomb shelters now? At least we will be ready.......
