Why did TopGun Maverick choose to use F18s hornets instead of F35s lighting II's? Was hoping for f35s

F35 is garbage.

Because F18s are better than F35
also looks cooler

Was going to say it was the last non fly-by-wire but that is not true. It's been in service a long time and Mav doesnt seem like the guy that likes new shit, being a top tier boomer.

F35 looks amazing and outperform all other fighters (except the F15 Strike eagle) if you disagree you are a boomer

kys glowie

Just look at it absolutely mogging the f18 in this pic

>sexy slick FA18 in the back
>fat ugly F35 in the front

its clear what a real man with taste would prefer (hint: the FA18)

I guess it would be a pretty boring movie if the F35 just BVRAAM spammed, killing every enemy plane within the first minute of engagement.

Wrinkled old hag in the back, soft skinned THICC cutie in the front

>navy f35
Well duh that model is so complicated it's a miracle it exists

>THICC
being disgusting and fat isn't something positive Lardo.

>fighter jet controlled with touch screens

The US really is setting up their military equipment for the next generations of mongrels who will inherit it.

Will the navy even get F-35s? I thought it was just gonna be air force

I like it.

That's a Marine Corps one. Navy uses the C model

There's no 2 seat variant for Tom to get practical in cockpit footage.

what a shitty cockpit

compare to the CHAD FA18

Yeah I know it's the F-35b, I like all the variants.

Airforce Navy and Marines all got their special snowflake version

cuck with no taste

It´s the bitch variant. The C model is the GOAT.

Ahh, that makes sense

Calm down, sweethearts.

>why use F-18
Because they need something that can actually turn.

Dick Cheney please leave.

for me it's the F-22, the sexiest plane

>can't even take off from a carrier

The F-35 is a joke. F-22 is the real deal.

is this why its not build anymore?

It's an old workhorse that still keeps chugging kinda like Marverick, it suits his character.

Yeah but f22 is Air-Force not Navy.
