CM, when I said "you are ex f-15 and was involved in some of the typhoon stuff. you are the only one's attitude I don't understand here, when compared to what other f-15 and typhoon pilots say"
The F-15 and Typhoon pilots that have anything to do with it, including those of the RAF. Say the F-35 is a step change and is a good platform.

LO, the block 2b had flight restrictions and will continue to do so. I don't know if the AIM-120 is cleared for some or all the restrictions that are in place.
