Good point.
....Although, the Super Bug F (with G wiring) would still offer the FAA some useful long term capabilities - i.e a two seater cab (useful in the networked battle space), a Buddy Tanking capability and the option to convert some/all of them to Growlers for Electonic Attack aircraft.
Your right the F-18 would still have a lot to offer the FAA but it would be an additional cost, another type of aircraft to maintain, another source of parts to buy, another source of contractors to pay for. Unfortunately all these costs will add up.
Which is why leasing them is the best idea, when time is up we get rid of them or if there is another delay we can just keep a hold of them for a bit longer.
