What's wrong with the Hornets? I'm sure they could look into the F-18I to replace the Mig's and Tigers.

They already have F-18s so my guess is that the Tiff offers them something else that they want. My guess is that its also the reason that they want to evaluate carefully.

This could be code for 'who has bought some Tiffs and doesn't need them all now and would like to sell them to us cheaply'.
