    F-35 is a turkey. They should cancel it and build more F-18E/F and F-22s

    Can we get rid of this thing and restart building actual dedicated ground attack platforms? I mean, Fairchild-Republic may be gone, but I’d dump all future acquisitions funding for this thing and getting a modernized A-10 back out there. And not just refurbishing old airframes, but building new ones.

    Isn’t the real story hear about the electromagnetic catapult?
    It’s about time the military caught on…Six Flags Magic Mountain has had one for years…

    You sound like a bunch of guys who do not know the difference between the F35 and the A-10, F-16s etc….that’s all I’m going to say.  It’s like comparing a tiger to a kitten in terms of killing capability.
