It’s nice of McStain to think of the taxpayers, but he’s no friend of anyone’s wallet if he wants to bring herbal supplements under the purview of the FDA and require medical prescriptions for buying them... what he might save the taxpayer on the JSF - $1 per taxpayer per plane, he will cost them many times more if you have to pay a doctor a $20 copay or a $200 visit PER SUPPLEMENT that you want to try.

This would mean the final cost would be double the initial estimate

A government program costing way more than the original estimate. C'mon, someone is pulling our legs/sarc.

abolish the entire thing. Seriously! If you keep allowing these companies to lie about how much it cost, so they can win the contract without consequence, this will keep happening

The JSF screams “junk” to me. It just looks junky. I’d say we should build more F-22 and F-15SE’s (F-15 Silent Eagles).

I posted a link to a Business Week article detailing a 50% cost increase on the F-35 in addition to other troubles.

Shut down the F-35 program, open the Raptor line back up and work with our allies on exporting it. Enough of this.....

Bring back the F-22. Do a high low replacing some F-35s with F-22s and others with F-16 Block 60s. The marines and navy still need the F-35.

Norman Augustine will (sadly) eventually be proven right.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.
