I have a self-imposed ban on discussing the JSF, except to repeatedly predict that it will never reach operational status.

It is fruitless to discuss it with some who feel they know better, as their jobs might depend on me being wrong. I'm not, but it will take time for that to be proved.

As an airframe, the JSF has few benefits over current technology. It is not as stealthy as the F-22, barely more maneuverable as your average F-16, and eats so much gas, it cant carry much to the fight. It is not that it is not fuel efficient, its that there just aint nowhere to put much gas.
