Well, reading the article I can only come to the conclusion that the F-35 came off second best, cos' if it had won the DoD and LM would be shouting it from the rooftops. This 'greater agility as a growth option' has spin doctor written all over it, unfortunately.
But I'm a bit surprised that AvWeek didn't include a bit of OpEd indicating what they thought was the strength of their story. The comments under the online version do pick all the expected holes.
