LoneWolf,
I second CM's response!
Relative to a new thread title:
"F-35 not cancelled: now what?"
The answer is we are just going to keep rolling along, it's too late to go any other way and we will somehow live with whatever it turns out to be. Now we do need a replacement for the F-22 and certainly more of them than the limited edition F-22s we have.
I too became highly interested in AF447 and joined PPRuNe because of it.
