I also feel a need to discuss the most expensive military project ever. The F-35 Lightning has been the Air Force's "Look at how high-tech we are" Aircraft for a while. Many people who follow aviation news will also know that it is absolutely inferior to our current aircraft. For example: In dogfight testing test pilots claim that the F-35 loses every time to the F-16 Fighting Falcon, which it is supposed to be replacing. Sure, it will still win dogfights, sure it will do alright, but it won't do its job as well as a dedicated aircraft. Also, This means the generalizing of our Air Force. No A-10, No F-16, No F-22... This blog seems to be turning into my rant zone. Oh well.
