US Air Force seeks to replace QF-4 targets
The U.S. Air Force is shopping for a full-scale target to succeed its McDonnell Douglas QF-4s full-scale target.

25 QF-4s are destroyed each year, but the inventory is replenished at a rate of only 20 a year.

Contenders for the replacement are QF variants of the F-16 and F/A-18 while F-4 airframes from foreign militaries are being considered as well.
