"If you feel that way you should write your congressman and complain you're not getting your money's worth from your tax dollars. "
***I do feel that way. One of the missions of the JSF is to replace the Harrier. My worry is that it seems like you might be assigned to that project. Your demonstration of a lack of knowledge on the subject of the Harrier's unique flight capabilities shows you to be incompetent to the task assigned to you, if you are not masquerading as a fighter pilot. We taxpayers deserve better than that.
Kindly forward your contact information and your supervisor's to me by freepmail and I will contact my congressman. If your information turns out to be valid, I will not reveal it to any one other than your supervisor, my congressperson, and whoever else you authorize, upon pain of removal of my posting privileges here at FreeRepublic; and I will withdraw the charge of masquerading.
Check this guy out.
Those levers only get shown to the PWKWTAD (Pilots Who Know What They Are Doing), rather than the flunkies.
You sure show a nasty combination of -ances, ignorance and arrogance.
You are spending a lot of time writing this kind of stuff, but you still haven't explained to me how the JSF will use vectored thrust in forward flight. I'm really interested to hear your answer.
