Royal Navy F-35B compared with anything

[gums]

Salute!

Since the mods cut off our thread that began to explore may aspects of attack planes besides just the ability to land on a boat, maybe we could try again.

@ mods!!! PLZ outline specific rules so we can discuss stuff as long as we avoid foul language or pure political diatribes.

The F-35B is great follow-on to the Harrier, IMHO. But we need real world Harrier and F-35 pilots to jump in here. The armchair experts can rant and rave and such, but it's much better to hear from folks that operate the hardware. And folks with actual combat experience are the ones we should value.

First item of interest is how much gas should you have when making your landing? Enuf for just one shot at it? Enuf to have a go at it and divert? and so forth.... Actual military directives apply, but personal opinions/rationale is appreciated.

Gums sends...
