What options does the Brazilian Navy have to replace its A-4 Skyhawks? In a earlier posting I asked the forum why didn’t Brazil consider the F/A-18 Hornet? Many claimed the the Hornet and even Rafale would be to big for the San Paulo (ex-French Carrier). So, what if any options do the Brazilian have………by the way didn’t F-8 Crusaders fly from the Foch until recently and aren’t they a bigger aircraft than say a Hornet or Rafale? I don’t know about the weight off hand but, I have models of each and the Crusader appears much bigger than both! In your Honest Opinion what would you do?
