The F-35 has the potential to be the next F-16, underrated, overcriticized and slammed by critics but clearly a superb performer. IMO the F-35 is going to be as great as advertised.

The biggest factor in that is the disinfornation narrative machine that always fires up when a new design is coming on line. It has had more than 10 years to fester in the minds of the public.

The F-35 is finally operational in the USMC and the fleet is building in the USAF. The Navy is lagging somewhat because they have to deal with unique features like carrier qualifications.

No doubt, there are opinions contrary to mine that you may get with your post.
