100% A-10 can loiter ~1hour, the F-35 can do what, one PASS?

Yes, good point. I remember this article about Corsairs compared to jets in the Korean War. The jets flew in from Japan and flew back again if they did not immediately receive a target to hit. The infantry loved the Corsairs because they could linger over the area.
