longer ron - Would you have felt better if he'd kept that bit quiet or, like me, appreciated his candour and taken his background into account while reading his blog? Does it invalidate the factual evidence, backed up with actual figures, he presents?
It just makes it more difficult to swallow figures and statements etc - it is fairly easy to post (say) 82% cheaper etc but 82% of what ?
Some of his statements are perhaps a little err optimistic and it should be remembered that this thread is about the 'B' model only.
Yes he is to be commended for coming clean but that could be for a double edged reason - but personally I would prefer to read an article by somebody completely neutral.
I can say what I like about the F35 because my future employment does not depend on it - other posters may not be able to say that.As I have said previously I also say what I like about the aircraft because I am a taxpayer !
