The F 35 is going to be missing some armament for a few years.

There was a time, when a pilot could whip out his 45 pistol and take out an enemy plane, for instance in WWII.

I worked with a guy who was shot down in Viet Nam by a guy with a rifle. I believe that he was in an F-100.

Is that what I read about the software wouldn't even allow them to fire the gun?
