If there's any single person with balls, big enough, to cancel this preposterous turkey of an aircraft, it's our Donald.

I wonder what a graph with 'in too deep to cancel now' on one axis and...

I think Trump is spot on here.

This jet is way too expensive and anyone with eyes that work properly can see it.

It's become a real gravy train for L-M and the contractors already, but it's...

The longer they persist with the F-35, the more likely is the re-opening of F-22 production.

Reason? The F-22 does exactly what it was planned to do.

The things that the F-35 is planned to do,...

MSOCS

So what does the F-35 have, airframe wise, that a Buccaneer hasn't?

You answered already....Stealth!

Wouldn't it have been easier to build say, two aircraft- rather than try to make ONE aircraft do everything?

One fighter, and one mud hen, say.

You could make the fighter a really nice,...

Glad rag

Let's not forget that a vertical landing on a moving ship, is not a true, still air V/L.

It's more like a V/L with a 30 Kt headwind.

Lockheed (Martin) are a brilliant company and if anyone can pull off the JSF, it's them.

Can't deny it.

Really though, I was thinking that for the price of a new JSF, you could probably get an F/A-18E + 1000 air boats full of blokes from 'Keenie Meanie Services'.
