In World War II, the B-29 Superfortress was the F-35 of its day. It was also the most expensive project of World War II next to the Manhattan Project. The technology ended up being a good platform after all. In this decade, I'm not so sure this F-35 can be everything to everybody. It won't be in the F-22, it won't be an A-10. I don't know if it could even be a very good replacement for the Harrier jump-jet. We need to put some of the stealth technology into the F-18 Super Hornet. Other countries are buying the F15 and ordering versions that are better than ours. I know that is not a carrier-based fighter. Ask the Saudis and the Singapore city state. They sure are not buying the F-35. They're buying their own custom version of the F15.

Here is my input brother. Long time listener and first time caller... We have spent so much on this program and reputations are at stake. Many second careers were determined during the first career as well depending on this funding if you get my drift. My final summation is you can polish a turd but it is still a turd.

The A-10 Warthog is the only playing that I know that has those redundant backup systems yet the Airforce at first one to replace the A-10 with this junky shoehorned jack of all trades master of none no dwell time limited Firepower and no armor protection for the pilot platform.

MSG (Join to see) - me too. One of the first lesson in SOS is about careerism. Yeah we have none of that right? The beltway is full of those working their next career follow on and never in the best interest of the military- only that person.

It appears that the one thing it's really good at is the one thing it wasn't designed to do -- be a tactical stealth AWACS. It's mediocre-to-sucky at everything else.
