From what I am reading in the military and aviation press....the F35 is destined to become the Brewster Buffalo of the 21st Century.
Seems like every bit of new equipment we field, there’s a long list of people willing to trash it. When it becomes commonplace in the military, there doesn’t seem to be the massive negative reactions to it. In fact, it generally works just fine.
I’ve not always been on board the F35. We’ll see how it goes.
It’s being implemented. We don’t have anything else at the present time that meets it’s level of flexibility, unless I’m forgetting an aircraft I shouldn’t.
