Oh to have been a fly the wall in that debrief! I have a feeling that the F-22 made mincemeat out of the F-35. I still think it was a mistake to cease production of the Raptor in favor of shifting funds to what was supposed to be a flying Swiss Army Knife, but can't get things squared away.

Instead, they are a bunch of greedy bottom feeders more interested in reelection and bringing as much federal money as possible into their state in order to buy votes. This is either done by per projects or public assistance. I think it is time to throw them all out, make lobbying illegal, institute term limits, and require them to ha e 2 hour interviews with no less than 30 constituents a month chosen randomly for them. Not by them!

I doubt any aircraft has ever gone into production without finding fault somewhere. the bugs usually get worked out. The key element in any Fighter aircraft is the Pilot, He or She can make a huge difference. There are people that just have the instincts and ability that stand above all others and History has some very good examples of that. Whatever technology that is added give that pilot a lot more tools to use but it still breaks down to their skills in the long run. Having cooperation between professional Air Forces with the same goals in mind and developing that concept of working together and learning from each other as well as being a force multiplier also seems to be a good approach to keep common foes in check.
The best people to listen to are the Pilots that have to use these aircraft, they know better than anyone what is needed. Often the backstage Commandos don't have a clue and decide without input from the user, the pilot what the aircraft needs.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter I have a buddy going through UPT at this time. He is NOT impressed w/ the F-35, which (he says) is a common impression there. The pilot can be John Boyd, but that bird just doesn't work right yet. They call it the Pregnant Dolphin...lol.
On the other hand, EVERYONE that gets into fighters wants the Raptor.

SSgt (Join to see) - Pretty much the same thing I had heard, like I said the Pilots are the most qualified to say what they need and what does and does not work.

SSgt (Join to see) - Its the old F-15 vs F-16 fight again. The best pilots will get the raptor, and the "second class" pilots will get the dolphin...and have HUGE chips on their shoulders for the rest of their lives along with as many stories as can be imagined to explain why they didn't get or refused the premier jet. It is almost as sad as listening to UPT washouts who end up in intelligence and constantly make excuses for why it wasn't their fault or they "chose" a "more meaningful" career path. It is is all very interesting to listen to, but very sad and pitiful.

SSgt (Join to see) So, an entire page lone article to say that the exercise was flown, no one will say who won or lost or even what maneuvers were employed...Perhaps someone can find Dave Majumdar something of interest to write about.

That's typical of Task & Purpose.. The articles are either vague and uninformative or they're opinion pieces.
