Well you better learn to love the F-35 as it slowly starts to silence it's naysayers.

I'm confused. Which side of this issue are your on?

I'm really not on any side,so to speak. What I mean about the 35 is that by the time all of the bugs are worked out,I think it's stealth capabilities will have been figured out by the so called bad guys.

This report that Flyboy posted is great new indeed. Has Lockheed really ever produced a dud?

>prem895 ... "working the bugs out" is exactly what military hardware is all about. In Canada ... the media and the uninformed armchair "jocks" make a virtue of dithering over the perfect selection when they should be embracing the reality ... the only thing I question about the F-35 is that it has a single engine. Everything else will evolve as the reality rolls out.

I saw this the other day - this might be an attempt to make LM nervous or maybe to get the price lowered or in the bigger picture, have more Canadian companies involved in the production.

I agree with FB. To pretend that they need to have a questionnaire filled in to find out what the alternatives can do is more than just silly. I would be more concerned if they were starting to discuss things like offset deals.

Ain't that the truth
Funny, all your arguments for the F36 could have been applied to the Arrow just as easily.
Lord Beaverbrook was told by some manufacturer or other that his company could supply him with "the best fighter aircraft in the world" in a year. Beaverbrook said, "I'll settle for second best tomorrow!"

The only difference is the Arrow may of had a 20 year operational career. The F-35 IMO will be around a lot longer providing the bugs are worked out of it (mainly on the "B" model).

And let's not forget that the F-22 is 30yo technology.
