JSFfan,
You've very neatly side-stepped the questions around your statement...

...by simply posting quotes about how great the F-35 is. It had better turn out to be good, frankly. Your statement there is a massive assertion that needs backing-up or withdrawing. So, I invite you qualify that statement. I restate my questions:
Where are you hearing that?
In what role is that happening?
What are you trying to prove by even saying it?
I would like to add:
What simulation is this based upon?
and
Using what metrics?
When you answer, perhapse you might keep these in mind - no need to respond to them, just the questions above:

Or do you expect us to believe that an uncleared civilian with no connection to the programme would have such easy access to
classified information?

Until the programme completes OT and delivers as war fighting platform a true judgement cannot be made.
Also, given that there is only one country that has a true F22 model, I highly doubt that anyone is leaking information. I suspect that the 'rumour' are nothing more than that.

Hopefully, one day, it will become "very good", but you are in no position to make such a claim today.
