PG map because it's not Georgia, and it is actually a smart choice as a political set-piece for modern ops. Heck, I know I'll get lots of hours of just using the mission editor as a 'laboratory' for seeing how various engagements would play out.
F/A-18C because I *heart* the baby bug. It's also the first aircraft that REALLY hits the center of the dart board: a true multi-role, 4th gen fighter. Time and Practice spent with the platform will yield higher dividends, as I can use that knowledge to tackle all sorts of missions: CAP, Intercept, SEAD, CAS, precision strike.
Plus, if the F/A-18C fails, I imagine the implosion of ED isn't far behind it. This is their flag ship product.
And hey, if nothing else, at least I'll get some cool screenshots, right?
