The F35 will be cancelled before 500 planes are made (prediction by Pierre Sprey)

[C130]

and why the f-35 costs so much is because it's in LOW RATE INITIAL PURCHASE

economy of scale hasn't even kicked in yet

 

[Ankit Kumar]

500? I think till the LRIP program ends in 2017, 500 would have already been crossed.

… African countries.

No disrespect to Africa but apart from the nations that have decent air forces ( South Af for ex. ),
the rest don't have the cash for Lighting IIs and they'd stay on tarmac in any case.
So honestly, if you love the JSF, it would not be so great.

@Horus is it a bot?

LOL, I tried interacting and it miss(fir)ed! Then again, it's like the Turing test :
The best bots are as good or better than the worst trolls and vice-versa.

No, no, guys! If you re-read from start you'll find a usefulness for this thread. It began with a botched use of an
improperly referenced and passé piece, the worth of which was likely misunder*stood by our little friend.
This lack of seriousness makes the thread very useful to PDF. It keeps Milavia ( sic ) busy and …
the rest of our forum free of noise interference?

Let's keep it open and just ignore, be it by forum function or biological one!

Good day all, Tay.

Yes, it's such a sucky aircraft, isn't it. BD airforce would reject it immediately if it was offered in aid, wouldn't it.

Bring back F-22 rapture and scrap this stupid F-35.

Rapture = A feeling of intense pleasure or joy, or - according to some millenarian teaching, if you believe - the transporting of (one or more) believers to heaven at the Second Coming of Christ:
Raptor = A bird of prey, e.g. an eagle or hawk, or a dromaeosaurid dinosaur, especially a velociraptor or utahraptor.

Though I could see a pilot flying a Raptor would experience rapture ;-)

Not if Jet fuel comes along with it...

Jet fuel would be the least of any problems
