Whenever i read something by Jackonicko, I give a hollow laugh and then beat my Black Labrador senseless. This is the same man, often kicked to the curb on Airliners.net and other respected forums, who continues to waffle and prefabricate facts here.
Journalism integrity is dead, all hail the opposite of Jackonicko.
Everyone knows the EF is hideously overcost, over 100 million pounds each, is kept on life support as far as development is concerned, and so late that it missed the next year's prom as well.
When will we see EF over Iraq for example? When I lead a spearhead of F-15s in, bomb the **** out of the camel muckers and liberate the country! Then perhaps those sunburned types will buy the EF (can't sell them stealth, old chap).
