FIGHTER,really is it a fighter. Depends on terminology. Also is it or will it really outclass every other aircraft. I seriously doubt it is better than typhoon in true a2a. You only have to look at the statistics. Typhoon is lighter has a much bigger wing and much more power as well as greater range. Pilots who fly new jet will always say it is the best thing since sliced bread. It is their job after all. Let's keep things in perspective. After all the billions spent on F35 and all the years of development it should be good. The question is how long stealth and it's clever electronics can keep a very average basic platform ahead of its rivals.
