Larry,

The SuperHornets (F/A-18E/F) have picked up the nickname “Rhino” in the fleet, as a nod to their Phantom forebears and because of their size relative to the Bugs.

Claudio –

Rhinos – as in Phantoms?!? I doubt it!

Is the Rhino nickname given to a more recent combat aircraft – I’ve only ever heard the Phantom II called a Rhino.

One of the largest contracts the Indians have put out in a while, more than they’re paying for their new (old) carrier from the Russians. Nice to have an in into that market and may grow into selling them some Rhinos and other toys.

That’s $2.1 Billion for the guys in my backyard!

Heh,

Be interesting to see whether the Indian navy gets there’s before we do. Maybe they could be the RAG for our guys? Since we seem to be outsourcing most stuff these days anyway, it might make sense.

Heck, we could easily resolve all our tech issues quickly since the IT call centers are over there anyway… sheeesh…
