Well one the US congress is and always the deciding factor of foreign sales the US makes so in their end what congress does not want to sell or like to is up to the US congress second the DND is looking at other countries namely South Korea, France, Italy, Germany and Israel and others sources due to our budget limitations so its not like we dont want US military Items we have to fit them over our limited budget.
No we are its just we have a budget and its limited second the US items on offer is good but we simply dont want a repeat of the F8 3rd we are looking more other sources like South Korea, EU (mostly Poland, France, Germany and Italy and some in iteams form the UK) and Israel possibily Sweden and Russia to fit our budget and for strategic proposes as well.
What was the issue about the F-8 Crusader as the only news I know about it is that it got hammered by Mt. Pinatubo when it erupted. I mean, Uncle Sam gave us this instead of F-4 or F-15 and we could have bought "spare parts" from other decommissioned F-8s unless US already sold them as scrap the moment we acquired the jets.
