U R the heaviest 911

I’m genuinely curious: Are we angry commenters supposed to be more or less up in arms about this vehicle if it’s good off-road?

5.7 seconds on a car from 2000 is...bad? I want whatever you people are smoking.

I am not qualified enough to say the helmet is the main cause, but it would appear that from the DoD document I linked that the issue is not isolated to the F35 HMDS helmet, but also with helmets used on other planes when equipped with night vision googles and other helmet mounted displays (like JHMCS and HMIT).

For male pilots, correct. However, this is the airplane taking us well into the 21st century and many combat pilots will be female, hence the 103lb design requirement.

The guy on the left in the first photo looks familiar....

female and international pilots, which is a big issue.

Women make superior fighter pilots. There may be some that way less than 136 lbs. Just because they’re the outlier, we should just not let them fly the plane? Even if they’re the best choice?

The fact that I’m not current on the program’s flight schedule has no relevance to the fact it’s grossly overbudget and far behind schedule.

Your dad is probably right - But there is a MUCH more important problem - As you can see right now in Syria, F-22 is doing the work the F-35 is SUPPOSED to do - Even more important than that, the F-22 prod was stopped because it was called a “relic” of the cold war, irrelevant to today’s wars, too expensive, blah,…

It's along the same lines as Jesus Christ (happy) and JEEEZUS CHRIST (holy fuck).

Same thing, different words.

If you were from Texas, you’d just replace ‘Aloves-me-a-snackbar’ with ‘YeeHaa’ and there you have it.

I know where you’re coming from. But never forget, one of the best-looking jet fighters to ever grace the deck of a carrier was also only sporting 1 engine, The Crusader.

Not the only single-engine fighter you might see land on a US carrier:

I see no reason why you shouldn’t.

America is really really good at shooting missiles at things. Like ridiculously good, like playing the William Tell Overture in the sky while spelling my mothers name in impact craters, while avoiding anti missile fire. We have supercomputers beyond a normal human comprehension that are only designed to help shoot…

I have bronchitis at the moment and laughed enough to send me into a gasping fit. Well done, Doug.

I honestly thought it was a real car until I read “ceiling fan”.
