Nice! I wonder why Australia got the F18 instead of the F15.
Am not actually too sure why the afterburner rings didnt come up more visible.
If anything, it is likely me.
I aint getting it right.
Will aim to do better this coming Saturday.
As for why Australia went for the 18 and not the 15, that i have no idea.
Have yet to look up the things surrounding this matter.
But yes, prima facie, it does appear to be an odd choice.
Essentially, Australia wanted to look for something which could come near (however "near" it could be since the F111 is really quite irreplaceable) to what the F111 could do, but in a smaller sized craft (relatively speaking).
So, yeah. F/A-18. somewhat odd.
