You see, the problem was, this was a great aircraft on paper in the original specifications.
But as it stands at the moment it is anything but. Which is BAD news.
Saying that there are fixes coming is fine but, as I believe to be correct, the aircraft will never return to those original specifications for numerous reasons.
Which kinda makes you think the original specifications must have been completely unrealistic from the beginning.......<scratchchin>
However, with the news that both F15/16 lines may be closing, the US could well be in the horse manure if someone, somewhere, doesn't take an executive decision....
meanwhile the freight train keeps on
rolling ...
