No worries Paul - doubt anything I post will change your opinion. I do think you're being way too harsh calling the F-35 a P.O.S. You have no evidence to support this statement at all other than you don't like the aeroplane. This program is too big and too far down the track to fail. There is plenty of evidence that the program is back on track with the unit cost also coming down as it should. The program manager Gen. Bodgan sounds one outstanding and very talented individual.
Yeah, the F-35 is a P.O.S - that's so funny! Time will reveal all I guess. Tell you what, if this program fails and the RAAF rejects all it's F-35's and returns them to LM never to return to Australia, I'll happily walk around a future Model Expo wearing a lemon outfit with "F-35" branded front and back! Fair enough?
