It was an interesting program. Built the wings, aft fuselage and avionics in Seattle, then I had an opportunity for about 4 months to goto Marietta, GA to help w/ some final assemblies. Seeing it together was quite awesome.
My only experience w/ seeing F18 pilots flying (besides Seafair in Seattle) was when I was still on the aircraft carrier. F14's landed like they were on pillows, F18's on the other hand SLAMMED down onto the deck...I assume it has something to do w/ having less air surfaces.
