Nov Pilot mag has a letter from an ex naval officer who has very little regard for F35. He states it has little range, cannot launch with full weapons load, has very limited carrier landing capability due to carrier pitch & roll limits, no in-flight-refuelling capability, far too sophisticated, far too expensive (6 F35s = 2 whole Squadrons of uprated F18 Super Hornets). If all true, this lemon is a lemon.
