CDI is staffed by inept buffoons many of whom were former commissioned officers in the US military.

“The F-35 is a bad deal that shows every sign of turning into a disaster as big as the F-111 fiasco of the 1960s.”

LOL, The F35 shows every sign that like the F16 it will become the most successful fighter built in the West. From the get go: Great Britain, Netherlands, Italy, Norway, USMC, USAF, USN, Australia, Denmark, Canada, Turkey, and probably many many more over the next years will procure this plane. It will be built in volume like no other Western fighter AND will deliver bang for the buck like no other. It is nearly on schedule, and nearly on cost, and these people are screaming fire in the theater. While these experts are screaming doom, NG is already rolling the first **production** fuselages from the line. Where do they come up with this stuff? I guess it has to be in color, use shocking words and be controversial to make the news or grab anyones attention nowadays.

True, but the author of this article was also the lead designer for the F-16 team, and thus knows a thing or two about good fighter design.
