38 will beat mossie in a dog fight
If they collide, maybe.
Mosquito VI - twice the spitfire, four times the ENY.

We should stop wasting money on the F35 and make more A-10's.

It's going down the same route as the V22. Lot's of early teething problems. Hope they get it sorted out. Beautiful plane, but needs to be functional.

If they do get all the bugs out of it it will just be a jack of all trades and master of none.

If you don't like the data just attack the source and/or the poster...whatever floats your boat sparky.

There's a universal truth when it comes to data of any kind; be it market data, intelligence data or news data: Data is only as good as its source. Source criticism has never been as important as now in the information age.

From Time:

http://nation.time.com/2013/06/07/on-final-approach-to-fighter-fiscal-sanity/

Quote
American taxpayers, the U.S. military services, and foreign purchasers — all of whom have been promised F-35 aircraft for as little as $85 million each — are in for a rude awakening. When real F-35 purchase prices unfold in the future, they may be as much as they are today—averaging more than $200 million per aircraft.

Squire, got any other irrelevant two-year-old articles that make assumptions about the future we're already living in?

Oh I didn't know the F-35 program had run its course already.

...not to worry its just another article written by some hack with a lot of nonsensical data because it doesn't show the F-35 at 85 million per unit like we all know it is like the nice man in the Lockheed commercial said...

U must understand that only information from the pro F-35 side, like LM. are trusthwothy. Any source claiming there are problems with the F-35 are lying...

Anyone who doesn't have access to the information necessary to form an informed opinion may not be lying in the strictest sense, but nor should you give any weight to their opinion. I'll withhold my judgement until people who actually have first hand knowledge voice their opinions. A project this huge involving this many services from this many countries cannot hold a dirty secret for long. If there's a problem someone will blow the whistle. So far all I hear is praise and awe.
