Deletion of F/A-18C Mock-up

Comment: There have been plenty of realistic mock-ups, even grounded airframes, pressed into service as training aids.

Comment: to an appropriate article, e.g. List of aircraft of the Swiss Air Force. I was prepared to close this as "delete", but... well. The various argument-less "keep" votes can be safely ignored. The issue is whether there is sufficient coverage to meet . The local news coverage of "oh look, cool, big thing moving on the highway" is so superficial that it can't be used as a basis for notability. The manufacturer's and the air force's material is not independent.  But, surprisingly, there are two in-depth articles in trade journals about this specific mockup: http://www.simagazin.com/images/heftarchiv/2013/SI_3_2013_72dpi.pdf Seilbahnen International p. 106 and http://www.cockpit.aero/fileadmin/data/cockpit.aero/archiv/2013/1305.pdf Cockpit, p. 16. That's ''technically'' enough for an article, but the reality is that this individual piece of training equipment is such an insignificant part of the whole topic of the Swiss Air Force that to dedicate a whole article to it must look quite silly to readers, particularly when we don't even have an article about the service of the ''real'' F-/A 18 with the Swiss Air Force, about which there would be much more important things to relate (various crashes, procurement issues, politics, etc.) It should therefore be mentioned in an amount of detail proportionate to its significance in another article.
