Just to give this thread a break from the exchange of insulting posts, a word or two of advice for the new aircraft worshippers.

When the Jaguar was spanking new in service a number of the first RAF pilots sang its praises far too loudly and completely ignored all its shortcomings. The net result was great difficulty for many years procuring funding to correct the many deficiencies. The attitude to extra funding was "if it is so good why do you need extra money?".

If you shout the attributes of this new 'wonder' jet too loudly before it has any operational capability you are in danger of repeating a hard won lesson.
