@socomsnipa904 you would be surprised how many pilots who are dual qualified through VFA-122 or 106 will tell you how much better the Legacy Hornet is over the Super Hornet. They are both deadly but the pilots really like the pitch and roll rate of the Legacy.

The pilot of that aircraft is all that is man. He is what every man strives to be.
