If I was selected and passed all the training, I certainly wouldn't complain about flying the Eurofighter! I saw it during its first public display year in 2005 at Shoreham and have been fascinated by it ever since.
The F-35, while it looks cool, is it a good aircraft? The guy who designed the A-10 and the F-16 has ripped it and Lockheed Martin to bits, as have a few other sources. Apparently, it can't turn as fighters should so it would be dominated by other 5th generation fighters that the Russians and Chinese are equipped with and there's loads of other things wrong with it. Is there anybody on here with experience who can confirm any of that?
