Navy selects F18 fighter over Air Force F16
The Navy picked the McDonnell Douglas Northrop F18 twin engine fighter for future use, edging the Air Force F16. Undersecretary Potter noted it does not meet Congress air combat tech orders while Schlesinger must approve full development. If produced, 800 jets would cost about 7.8 million each with 6 billion total, and 400 to 500 new Hawthorne jobs could arise by 1975.
