ORAC - I think we might need more than one!
LO - I assume NGB means the AF successor to Buff & Bone. If past performance (B1/B2 programs) is anything to go by, F35 will look like a model of acquisition in comparison.....
Unfortunately a subsonic attack frame will not do what everyone (certainly the USN and UK) will want from it. Does anyone seriously believe that a start again now approach will deliver anything usable (and by that I mean a few ET&OD frames) before 2030?
I knew folk should have stuck with F14 ASF.........
