Yes, but it sure would be nice to bring in another F16 type, along with the Italians, Germans and Swiss who Bimare is supposedly after with this new X16. (most of whom are already doing well with their F18HT and A cat fleets, I don't see them changing to an X16 with no fleets.)

Perhaps if enough of them (Italians, German and Swiss) sailors call Bimare and ask, "Is it F16 compliant? NO? Well, nevermind..." Then Bimare will fix it. I really do not understand their marketing angle with this one. Hopefully they will think it through and change it before too many go out the door.
