re: #408 ggt

True, but it does give pause.

Also, the fact that we are going to be replacing the various jets in the Air Force with the massively dysfunction F-35 is an issue.

Can that stupid thing, and talk to one of our European Allies about getting a modified version of one of their fighters. The Russians used the same basic design (SU-27) for 20-30 years, and much of the tech and parts in their new fighter come from that family.

We need to do the same sort of thing. We can branch out and make more advanced the F-15, F-16, and F-18.
