“You are wrong about that “
No, I am not. History is on my side.
True, but $300 aircraft aren’t much good in a war. Too much maintenance keeping them grounded and too few of them.
OK you must know.
Did you bother reading the article which lays out the POS case?
Do you ever talk to engineers and pilots directly working with the USMC F-35B program?
Funny how they try to cancel the stuff that works (A-10 and F-22) and keep the stuff that doesn’t (F-35, Bradley, that giant mobile artillery gun)
Are you talking about F-104 Starfighter? That was a long time ago and Eurofighter didn’t exist then. Currently the political pressure in Europe is for inferior Eurofighter over what the respective air forces want. Sacking of German air-force chief who was for F-35 will go into history same as sacking of that German fighter ace who was against F-104.
Yep, funny in a perverse sense of the meaning.
