The Tomcat is a maintenance nightmare compaired to the Super Hornet...hence the replacement. Times have changed and that's another reason why the Tomcat is replaced...the mission isn't there anymore. No reason for having a fighter to attack multiple targets over 100 miles away with the disbanding of the former Soviet Union.
