The reason why it is comical: conjecture.

If you believe a manufacturer will release anything tactical about a military product on a brochure...
Or in the free press...
Or in military magazines...

Well, of course they will, BH. Of course they will.

Bahahahahaha!

Comical.

Question.. What's the perception from our northern neighbours on the JSF?

Salty.. The military do release that info.. Just go check AMI.. They're all over it like a rash on a pimps proverbial.
It's hard for me to get used to these changing times... I remember when the air was clean and the sex was dirty..

4 out of 5 Northern Neighbours have diarrhoea.

And none of them like it.

Well duh. As I said, we might never know it can (or can't) actually do all the things that LM says it can until shots are fired. Considering Israel is a customer, we might just get that chance.

And...Like I said...small risk they'll ask you to strap one on, so why on earth would you possibly be compelled to express an opinion on something that you have incomplete (blunt) information about?

I guess I could wax lyrical about Jackson Pollock and abstract expressionism, but I wouldn't, coz I have no idea about it.

But by all means, continue along your path. I need a laugh, and the blokes I know that are still RAAF active (but cannot talk about the F-35) need a laugh too.

You are really a very funny fellow.

...because this is a discussion forum for talking about aircraft and other things. If it were a prerequisite that you must have flown any aircraft to discuss it, then the forums would be a pretty quiet place.

Didn't we get the F-111 for 10 million per aircraft or close to it? It was a ridiculous bargain considering their service. I remember cutting apart my former lecturer at University when he started popping off about how bad the F-111 was.

But you are not talking.

As per your post's topic, you are writing a critique about a fighter whose capabilities are classified.
So I guess its really "A blunt's view of why Australia shouldn't buy the F-35".
If you don't like the look of the jet, its colour, it does not have an ashtray...OK...that's cool.

Crap on all you like about the F111 and how you cut down a uni lecturer. At least its a post-mortem of the jet and the facts are able to be viewed.
