Schedule slips to right aren't unusual, what makes the F-35's so annoying is how many and how far to the right.

I don't disagree that the advocacy groups, to include my own dearly beloved United States Navy, have been making selectively positive utterances for about half a decade on this program, as it slips right yet again.
Maybe we need this thread to supplant the other one, since it does not look to be cancelled any time soon, but still looks to be blood expensive if it ever goes IOC.
G limits: a performance metric. Not surprised that the C, being heavier/beefier for carrier ops, has different G limits than A.
I seem to recall F-15 had more G allowance than F-14, but it's been a few years and my memory may not be what it once was.
