I've started a sandbox here to start reworking this article. Please use this discussion page, or my discussion page, to make any suggestions you see fit. SidewinderX (talk) 18:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you can fill some early development content, that'll be great. I have only been to find more recent info on engine upgrades. -Fnlayson (talk) 03:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've updated the main page with my sandbox version. I've cited a lot more, added a lot of detail to the variants section, rewrote the development section some, and fixed the info box up a bit. I guess I'd like comments and any improvments anyone can offer, than have it checked against the B-class checklist. Fnlayson: I haven't been able to find too much on the early development process. I'll keep looking. - SidewinderX (talk) 00:04, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You're doing fine. I can probably pull some early info from my F/A-18 books. -Fnlayson (talk) 02:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I got a bit motivated and found several good AvWeek articles from early in the F414 development years (1991-1995 mostly) that have a lot of good information. I'll try and synthesize that stuff and add it to the article tomorrowish. - SidewinderX (talk) 03:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
