the F-35, a plane that still can barely fly

What really amazes me is that opinions are still divided on this. I state no personal opinion. But about half the people thinks it's the best weapon system ever, a game changer, something which puts us far ahead of our enemies. The half of the people think it can barely fly cannot fight and is a complete waste of money.

It's not a new plane. We ought to be able to have some sort of consensus that it is either mostly good or mostly bad. But I don't think people have decided.

Are we planning to fight wars with weapons whose value is unclear? This should not be political. It is either mostly good or mostly bad.

I was going to ask aren’t planes flown by Pilots, forgetting that they are sometimes flown by auto pilot. But we do know what happens when cars are driven without the driver. the result is not a nice picture.

The ANG at the nearby (couple, three miles) airport flies them. They are loud, particularly with the cloudy weather we’ve been having.
