As for the bad news that is continually being peddled around about the F-35, there certainly have been problems, but, also a great deal of overblown hysteria.
There have been a large number of various critical Government teams studying the F-35 purchases. All but Canada’s, seem to have been satisfied that the various contentious issues are being attended to.
Brat,
Look back on this thread. Look back on any other forum. How many times since 2008 can you find this kind of stuff posted by shills and fanboys?
So tell me, tell me, Brat - where are we, against the 2008 schedule? The 2010 schedule? The 2013-finally-we've-got-this-sorted schedule?
Cough it up, Brat - how many fully-and-formally-tested, in-service F-35s are there, that meet the end-of-SDD spec as contracted in 2001? Answers now or forever hold your peace.
Now think - how much have you, and the other shills and fanbois, contributed to anyone's national defense (other than China's) by your passionate defense of your fetish project?
