I hear you, but the A-4, F-8, A-7 and others seem to have gotten through that.
to me this thing is a committee designed camel that will prolly never do any one thing well let alone be known as one of the great planes
and the fan jobs, well, more stuff to go wrong along with less room for fuel and ordnance
all this stuff might look good on paper but they still have to tell men to fly them and some very brave men they will be
just seems like money that could have been better spent elsewhere
but what do i know, i'm just an old greybeard wi 20/20 hindsight
