The USAF and USMC needs to dump the F-35 and go with Super Hornets. At least they work.
Which, of course, will screw all the people we suckered into buying into the F-35 program. I guess we need to provide F/A-18s to them as well. Though I don’t know what the UK will do with their V/STOL carriers.
That ship has already sailed. The 35s are already being integrated at Cherry Point.
Gradual modifications to the F-16, F-15 and F-18 to improve maneuverability and stealthiness would have made them better than the F-35 for a fraction of the cost.
