Vintage Israeli Hornet F/A18 Evaluation Team 70s-80s

$45.00

There is no public record or evidence of a formal Israeli Air Force (IAF) evaluation team testing the F/A-18 Hornet for procurement. Israel deemed the F/A-18 redundant, opting for F-15s and F-16s, as the Hornet’s capabilities overlapped with their existing fleet, making it a lower priority in terms of strategic, economic, and logistical needs. 

  • Why No Evaluation: Israel has focused on heavy, long-range fighters like the F-15/F-35, while the F-16 covers the light multi-role requirements, rendering the carrier-designed F/A-18 unnecessary.
  • Alternative Upgrades: Israel specialized in upgrading F-16s (Netz/Barak/Sufa) and F-15s, allowing them to exceed the capabilities required for local combat scenarios without buying a new, costly platform.
  • Evaluation Confusion: Some confusion may arise from US-led evaluation teams (such as Boeing/NAVY teams in 1999) or joint exercises, rather than a dedicated Israeli evaluation team. 

The F/A-18’s role as a multi-role strike fighter and its adoption by other nations was not considered a sufficient advantage by Israel at the time of procurement decisions.

Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar from Hampden-Sydney College, is credited with discovering the source behind the ubiquitous filler text. In seeing a sample of lorem ipsum, his interest was piqued by consectetur—a genuine, albeit rare, Latin word. Consulting a Latin dictionary led McClintock to a passage from De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum On the Extremes of Good and Evil, a first-century B.C. text from the Roman.

So when is it okay to use lorem ipsum? First, lorem ipsum works well for staging. It’s like the props in a furniture store—filler text makes it look like someone is home. The same Wordpress template might eventually be home to a fitness blog, a photography website, or the online journal of a cupcake fanatic. Lorem ipsum helps them imagine what the lived-in website might look like.
