General Defends Embattled $850 Billion F-35 Program | The Fiscal Times
Kind of funny that this article reports a 'scathing' DOD report on the program. I posted the same report several posts ago. It identifies issues and recommendations, but nothing earth shattering.
This is from LMCO explaining the aircraft's software.

Meanwhile the Dutch just bought 8 F-35s

"Everything I've done in the simulator made the F-35 remarkably easy to fly."
"It felt very similar to the F-18 Hornet that I have flown previously, so it was a very comfortable transition."

Well, to quote our highly regarded member fly boy....fly boy:"isn't that the first jet bomber because I have flown one in a flight sim before and I know how it handles"

I think our F-35 sim is just a smidge more advanced 
Not sure exactly what they use it for. It is s King Air 200, with a large electronics pod underneath. I did some work on one in December, and next week they are bringing another one.

I got to spend time in the sim. Very impressive. Wish I had one at home... Just got word that we are going to shoot live missiles and bombs off my plane a little later this year. Will be exciting, can't wait.

The way things are moving forward, missiles will soon be useless and we're back to square one, guns and cannons only...

Italy will be building 90 F-35s, both A/B models
Modern rubbish? Is it just jets or all modern aircraft?

Hey, I prefer aircraft where the pilot do the actual flying, with the bottom of his pants.....the F-35 and others (except for the Gripen of course ) are just pile of old and used razorblades melted together... 
.......and did I say ugly?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. IMO if it doesn't suck or blow it ain't worth a sh!t!

I like my women like I like the A-10. They may not be pretty, but they're cheap and get the job done.

And someone needs to resize their signature.
