+1 to keep Raptor Driver in the Top 3.

I think we need to consider they have those top three for development reasons as well as keeping things going. Lets be paitent.

Hi

Whats the meaning of a "Legacy" F-18 or any other "Legacy" aircraft?

Thanks

In the case of the FA-18, "legacy" refers to the "old" version, A, B, C, and D models. When the "Super" Hornet (FA-18E and F) came out, people started calling the old ones "legacy". I guess it sounds better than "old"...

This is "corporate buzz-speak", but it still means "the previous (old) version".

Well they are called that way because indeed they are (F/A-18A/BC/D) the legacy to the new hornets or "super" hornets, meaning that the new ones are entirely developed from the original design but changed in such way that they are not the same, whereas the C and D versions were not that much different than the first batch of hornets which are A and B's. As a matter of fact, the hornet design comes from the YF-17 but this one was called Cobra, so no hornet there, being the first hornets the A,B,C and D models.

I'm wondering if there was a further design after the super hornets how would they be named? Ultra hornets, Ultimate hornets? LOL! Yes I know that'll never happen because the F-35 is here now...

Anybody from FSDREAMTEAM could ask the admins of your forum if they could accept my registration over at your forums please? I'd like to talk to you guys at your forum about the F-18 and its development but it's been a couple of days since I registered but haven't been accepted. My username is the same as here: joanvalley

Thanks!

I've quoted your post at FSDreamTeam. Umberto is typically pretty good at monitoring his forum, and I'm guessing he'll see it soon.
