RAAF releases jet fighter back-up plan
The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) has announced a fall-back plan if the $16 billion Joint Strike Fighter is late in delivery. The central fuselage of up to 43 Hornets can be replaced so they can keep flying beyond 2015. Also the Orion long-range patrol planes can also be equipped with missiles.
