When it comes to the F35, don’t expect many “knowledgeable comments”.

In fact, there are only a few knowledgeable FReepers around here who know anything about aviation.

But there are many times that around here who do think they’re experts.

The F35 has flown when ALIS has had problems...there are backup options.

I'm an expert on combat aviation.

No, I've never flown one.

No, I've never flown ANYTHING.

No, I don't work in the field.

No, I've never studied aviation physics or weapons systems.

BUT BY GUM, THE DAY WE DISCONTINUED THE P38 LIGHTNING IS THE DAY AMERICA DIED!
