Brazil closer to selecting Super Hornet

Reuters say U.S. officials are confident that Brazil will eventually select the Super Hornet as its next fighter after a visit by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden.

Officials say Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff’s comments to Biden and other recent developments suggest a preference for the F/A-18. A decision could come before she makes a state visit to Washington in October.
