Really? Any experienced Hornet driver worth a damn learnt very early on what a Pig could and could not do. We knew it could shoot its wad and run away very fast, and we knew we could bingo it very quickly if we could get it turning...
Conversely, the Pig guys knew that if we were in the area, they were likely to die....that's all they needed to know.
I'm generally pro-F-35, but that's because I have looked inside the paper bag and I like what I see...despite the seemingly endless programmatic woes!
But JSF fan, your childish and unsophisticated endorsements based on what you've read in the press or heard on other forums are doing the cause no good whatsoever...
