Pie in the sky
There are few things I love more in this world than a sexy airplane, but the F-35 is a dog that's never going to hunt. Yet, it survives every budget cut because, politics. And, it's not the job creator Lockheed claims it is. Charlie has the story so read him.

The F35 is one of my hobby horses. Everything wrong with the industrial military complex wrapped up in carbon fiber.
But the PSA about 60 Minutes, priceless.
Wow. You know much more about it than I do. I've been reading about the problems for a while now and much as it pains me to say it, I thought they should have shelved this project a long time ago. Seems to be designed to fight the kind of war we don't really have anymore and our air force is already far superior to the entire rest of the world without it.
