re: #779 Gus 802

F-35 is another service headache in the making and it’s not even in service yet. The V/STOL version is another watch. They should have stuck with an advanced Harrier. Plus, we lost most of the F-35 buyers by now. I remember when the Eurofighter was supposed to be the next big thing in Europe. That ended up being far too expensive as well. The all in one concept of the F-35 will be what kills it. And as far as air superiority for the F-35 I have serious doubts. I’m wondering if they shouldn’t have gone with Boeing. Lockheed has gone over budget over and over again throughout the years.

The only reason it hasn’t been killed yet(IMHO) is that too many allies are in the contract to buy the F-35.
