the plane is years over due,and way over budget.RT isnt a good source but it was linked directly from a interview with a Pentagon official.basically its cost prhibitive and we dont need all that fancy gear,it cant even replace the A10.Pentagon Wars II.As for the DAS yes that thankfully is working great.but TPTB want it at all costs and they ll get it.its to big to fail.

Do you have any links that are not a couple of years old?  I guess you did not read that report that I mentioned in my last post.

 

I know some of the problems have been fixed already and I don't about status of the rest.  Do you?

I've seen those and they are pretty good.  There are a couple of points relating to the STOVL variant that I don't agree with.

ok,my comps in the shop,dropped it from 3 feet.not good.im using this old gateway from 10 years ago and it weighs 10 freakin lbs.ill have mine bk today and ill try to find the info.I don't really have anything against the F35 except its bloated cost and over reliance on uness. tech.we could use the 1 trillion(overall cost projected)for a replacement for M1A2.or Bradley....or even better procuring parts for our fighters.the USAF and USMC are getting parts from gravyards and musems,lol.This comes from a USMC 4 star himself.:$

Besides the F22 is more than capable.:)
