Whatever happened to the F-24? For some reason the F-24 through F-34 disappeared, and the new F-16 replacement was designated the F-35. Furthermore, the F/A-18E and F/A-18F share little in common with the original F-18, although it looks very similar. It really should have taken on the F-24 designation, but it was politically advantageous to keep the F-18 moniker.
So how annoying is that? How annoying is it that there is no F-24 or F-25 or F-28 or F-34. I'm okay not having a F-13 or F-19... but that's a lot of numbers to miss.
I know, I know. Nobody cares.

Hi, there. I care.
Cause I often play the "Acecombat", the PS2 game of NAMCO. So I know you already have already F117!, the amazing bomber.
All mission completed.
Over and out.

There's another oddity... the F-117 uses the old numbering system from thirty years earlier. It's also not much of a fighter.
