Australia has received all of its Block II Super Hornets. See the story over on Australian Aviation.
A warning to other aircraft programs: it was on time and on budget. In any event, this is the aircraft you want your son or daughter to fly (in peacetime) because it is extremely safe (or as about as safe as aviation can be).
I would have rather seen the money spent on wiring 12 of the aircraft to take G-model ECM gear and instead have that go to SHARP recon pods.
Next year will decide if Australia buys more Super Hornets.
