The 8 F-35s scheduled for delivery at a cost of $200 Billion each will be a terrific addition to our defense capabilities.
AS you know, the F-35 is capable of taking down 2,640 enemy aircraft per each mission, needs very little maintenance, and has a range of 12,000 NM w/o refueling, and are "Green," as all get out with "0" impact on Global Warming. They are also easily flown by women, LGBTG, and minority pilots.
The F-35 is also a foreign sales success, as the Australians said they might buy one.
Canada has already bowed out of the program. Maybe that one the Aussies are getting might be the one Canada would have eventually got. You know, order 50 and actually get 1.
