How much do these things cost? $100,000,000 a copy?

Our entire Defense Dept needs to be flushed into the Atlantic.

This can’t be! NATO just had an air parade to show russia a thing or two. Plus a strongly worded letter.

...And the military-industrial cabal discovers even more ways to bleed our economy dry.
This time it will be in the form of warehousing charge fees.

The F35 will probably be a good plane when mature - and in the air.

Meanwhile, we need to keep proven A10s for close air support. Let the F35 replace A10s when they can be accepted for delivery and have proven they can get the job done.

Don't get rid of something that can do dangerous work right now and just hope in the future something better will come along.

Our military leadership - so disappointing to me in this and other matters.

We’d be better served with non-stealth, cheap and fast missile-trucks. We have assigned too much money to protect a pilot.

the combined development and production process in which F-35s are manufactured before all features have been completely tested or vetted

Ready, Fire, Aim!

What happens in 10 years, when one of these encounters a swarm of 100,000 Chinese drones over Taiwan? Useless.

Biggest problem is the frilly lace on the tranny pilot’s skirts keeps getting caught on some of the control panels...

Yup, great airplane isn’t it? The chicoms have got to be shaking in their sandals.

If I were king for a day first order would be to strike lockheed from all contracts from now until the end of the world.

Designed by generals. A boondoggle from the start. I have friends who were hired for this project and they basically sit around and do absolutely nothing for years. But our money keeps rolling in. I can’t take the Texas heat or I would be down there too.
