DB,
I am neither disappointed or claiming to have discovered something shocking. I merely posted what appeared to be a factual report in a defence magazine. It is others who have posted unsubstantiated opinions as facts.
Clearly the US is not going to proceed until testing has been completed. Testing should reveal the truth and to say nobody is concerned about fatigue is an opinion, if true why bother with all the expense of an instrumented ac and hours of testing and analysis.
I for one hope the P8 is a success for those that can afford it.
