Problem is the plan always ends with a reccomendation to buy more F-35's. Lockheeds got the brass in their pocket and it’s the taxpayer that will eat the increased cost for every bomb dropped on a mud hut.

When the contents of a hot pocket are tasted there is nothing but molten heat and despair, but if it is cut apart and inspected visually you will see a mere pile of anomalous meatstuff surrounded by a cardboard like crust.

A stylistic element taken to an extreme.

The F-35 is criticized because it tries to be all things to all customers. If thrust vector was essential for low speed handling then it would have been a must have feature.

If I recall that is the reason the F-22 has it.

They mostly use explosive rounds now.

Even in that case, it may not be a game ending sort of problem.

The Skyraider could be catapulted despite having a tail dragger configuration. You could also hitch the two rear wheels to a launch strap (as was done on the phantoms) if a tow bar is out of the question.

I’d argue the A-10, like the A-1 skyraider it was replacing, converts easily to naval duty.

They’ve been doing this to confiscated guns for decades in order to “send a message” to criminals. It never works because criminals don’t care.

Yes, and the S can be equipped with a (very early) self driving system.

I applaud the devs for living by their ideals but I doubt it does anything to improve the nation’s psychological health.

Because being compressed into a bio-plastic laminate for use in an artificial intelligence’s construct is superior to hearing some guy rant about illegal aliens?
You sound indoctrinated...

There’s always a hard line connection as an option.

The F-35 will work because we’ve fallen victim to sunk cost fallacy. Eventually we will learn to live with its issues until it is replaced.

Without a verified back story, photos aren’t proof of much these days.

Does Clinton still have that reset button?

If he still can’t win after embarrassing Clinton in these debates, it is time to admit that the system is broken by design. Luck won’t change anything.

I’m missing the days when we had full sized interceptors at sea.

Problem is Hillary. Trump has been drawing out the numbers because the right and center really dislike Clinton and want a popular candidate. Republicans are at record high turnouts so far.
