The military has a less than stellar record with a joint service fighter. The F-15 and the F-18 started out as the same plane for the Air Force and the Navy. Different loading requirements for carrier landings and take-off resulted in the Navy needing a separate version, and thus was born the F-18. I thought it was the F-16 and F-18 not the 15 and 18. The F-16 and The F-18 where different planes competeing for the air force contract and the F-16 won but the F-18 winded up getting developed for the navy. I might be wrong but that's how I remember it. Tim
