The class has been a really big disappointment in the USA.., absolutely nothing happening.
Can't speak to the issue of sailor attitude, but I think the cost of the Taipan in the US has been a significant impediment for F16 in the US. It will be interesting to see what happens now that the Blade is becoming available.
On a different subject only slightly related, am I right that there were no I17Rs at Tradewinds? I was a bit surprised since I believe they have a pretty strong presence in the US, though perhaps more in the midwest? Too far to travel?
