LOL. Interesting. I watched the PBS show about the development of the Joint Strike Fighter on PBS years ago and it’s informative. From the bidding by Boeing and Northrop to British test pilots handling the fighters over the Cali desert.

I'm surprised they didn't ask for warp drive and photon torpedoes. Then we have the humble A-10 which is an obvious step from the P51. No overdesign, just some obvious technological advances and the plane does it's designed mission better than anything.
