You can't totally take issue with the Dr's crush on the Aardvark. If you live in a place the size of Oz, there's something about two engines, swing wing and 34,000 pounds of internal fuel that is reassuring. And then the F110 is about the same mass flow and dimensions as the TF30... and everyone and his aunt is selling AESA retrofits this year... Hire the Israelis to integrate the avionics, get a few gearheads out of the spook-mod shop at Foat Wuff to do the airframes, add JASSM and Meteor... Now tell me that's worse than a JSF.
