"A Boeing news release published Monday boasted that engineers would be able to adapt from older F-15 jets to the new F-15EX in a matter of days."

This sounds familiar...

yeah, except they don't have to go through the FAA this time >_>. /s

What drove me nuts about the 737 fiasco, is that the military version of a 767 had a similar issue that was easily overridden by just... moving the stick.

(the military aircraft is based on the 767 which only has rudimentary fly-by-wire for the spoilers along the wing, so everything else is hydraulic like the 737).

The military plane didn't have absurd economical reasons against increased pilot training that 737 MAX had.

Ah, you've found the solution. The military should go into the passenger business!

They build a new F-15EX ship it over, take the tail number form the older ones and transfer them over and voila an upgrade.
