Marines Push F-18s To The Limit
2011-09-15
A few weeks old so just a summary: the Marine air wings are pushing their F/A-18s to the 9,000 total flight hour cap, a limit established as to when the aircraft should be retired. The Marines were hoping to hang in with the Lawn Darts until the F-35s arrived, but the ops tempo for Afghanistan is such that the planes are getting close to their limits.
