Don't worry, that's the only thing stopping me from getting one...haha. If you retool it into a dual seater, let me know...I'd be interested.

The Blue Angels, when they had the Tomcat under consideration, wanted a single seater. However, Grumman found that it was actually more expensive to reconfigure the avionics and instrumentation for 1 man flight. Even then, the Tomcat was deemed to expensive as is, and with the F/A-18 Hornet on the horizon, being cheaper and having 1 seater models to begin with, the Blue Angels opted for them instead. |

There WAS 1 single seater, piloted by Chuck Sewell for high AOA/spin testing. The space for the rear seat was taken up by instrumentation.
