No mention that the the F-35 pilot doesn't need a huge canopy - DAS will fix any supposed blind spots and give better visibility than the A10 jockey.
Valid point on the ammo load - but in that theater in that scenario a Herc gunship could have provided equal suppression with a longer loiter time. The Marine conversions (Combat Talon?) are even armed with Hellfires aren't they?
