The plane that is almost bankrupting the CORPS. Who needs armor, arty or well trained and equipped 0300 infantry??? The F-35B can doo everything....sure.

Re: US Navy and US Marine Corps Aircraft
Good luck to the RN's 2 CVFs with a relative handful of rather short legged F-35Bs...........
I cannot think of any other Navy that has ever designed a carrier for ONE specific aircraft, only! IMhO this aircraft program is THE BIGGEST BOONDOGGLE in military history.

Re: US Navy and US Marine Corps Aircraft
Well time will tell eh Dennis , some might see it as Faith in a product , others might share your point of view its true
But if it fails we won't be the only ones with Egg on our face , and it will create a huge shift in faith from integrated technology and partnerships aiming for the same goals .....for instance...... we had our TSR2 project pulled from under our feet , and as we both know ....History has a nasty habit of repeating itself ....has it not![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
