Turbine D,
I have to say that your links there to Time have lifted a shroud of confusion from my eyes. So, thank you. As a squatter in the middle ground (I want it to work, but have serious concerns about some of the technical aspects) of F-35 and it's programme, I tend to glaze over a bit when folks quote hugely different figures for (for example) unit cost. Reading Alphabet Soup now means that I see how they get there and that I was right to be sceptical about the promises (again, for example) of a F-35 for $85 million.
A1Bill,
I withdraw my earlier statement that I'll believe it when I see it. Instead, your spin is cynical and misleading or misguided and worthless.
