LO, thanks

It was interesting how little coverage Sean Stackley's comments got here - indeed, there seems to be a degree of hope* / wilful blindness* from Whitehall about the actual danger that Dave-B is in.

One thing always confused me: what does Dave-A offer that Dave-C doesn't do better? I was actually wondering if (a la F-110A) the USAF could actually just operate the F-35C with the internal GAU-22A and an UARRSI port. Would presumably save a pile of dosh, especially through life. Don't know - a genuine question - it's not as if F-35A is going to be heavily OCA tasked (and it should be fine in DCA).
