About 2 hours ago you were explaining how the F-35 is NOT an air superiority fighter. Now you're saying there are other features that we have ignored? Are you now saying it's better than the F-16? As a former F-15 instructor it pains me to say say this, but the 16 can certainly do that role.
So, which is it? It can't do a-a or it can?
You twist and turn like a twisty turny thing. And then claim we didn't read your post properly.
