USAF use F 18 non?

Non. F/A-18 is a US Navy aircraft.

Yes curio.

I mean the F 18 is a newer airframe.

Carrier based or not seems odd to limit to just the Navy.

It actually looks as tho the F 15 will outlast the F 18 wtf.

The F-15 still outperforms even the Super Hornet. All that extra weight for the sake of being carrier-capable compromises it in pretty much every other way.

That's the reason the French fell out with the Eurofighter consortium and did their own thing with the Rafale.
