I have seen F-35 flying overhead on a daily basis when it isn't being grounded. It is bigger than F-18. It must have more drag issue than F-18 which it is really bad.

I think they should kill F-35 from the contract prospective; running over the budget by double and it is really late to the schedule. I hope they could kill it but I really doubt it because it is a pure politician program; all eggs into that program.

My dream: Kill F-35, use that money to modernize and reproduce the F-18s, F-16s, F-15s, A-10s, and few other planes. I would like to see NAVAIR to develop a navy version of A-10 since we are conducting lots of CAS (Close Air Support) in both so called, "fronts" without a declaration of war from our legislative branch

. Those 30mm in the front will be very useful in the CAS.

Furlogh is coming soon.
