The description of the problems sounds just like every NEWEST RELEASE of WINDOWS.
ya even beat my ping...
Remember Trump mentioned talking to test pilots and being told of control problems.
let us pray it’s not that bad. but it not lookin good
The entire military is in total problems. Start with women in combat and stop with queers in fox holes. We better get tough or we are going to get dead.
the man DOES get around

It all depends on the politics on the program. If there is good will, big problems will be overlooked and fixed later. If there is bad blood even something as trivial as a drawing not updated for the latest change can shut the program down.
must be a HELL of a lot of good will behind this bird then
Why do our enemies have to know this? Not long ago this information would’ve been classified so as not to make our adversaries aware of our vulnerabilities.
More than any other plane has ever had,apparently.

I do not know anyone with good insight. But, from my own experience, something like a Windows operating system mandatory update...things that used to work do not work any more. And it can take considerable work to find all of the issues. It sounds like F35 is mostly software issues. Hard to tell why there are issues, but I am seeing lots of Windows upgrade issues right now.
What’s shocking about F-16 beating F-35 in a dogfight? What’s shocking is flying along and wham! You get shot down by something you never saw coming. Both the F-22 and the F-35 can do this.
Besides, I think everyone has known for a while that the F-35 is going to really do what the F-117 Stealth Fighter did . . . essentially penetrate enemy airspace and bomb stuff. Although both were called “fighters” because of political reasons, they really are fighter/bombers, the modern equivalent of a P-47 or Mosquito. Something that tries to avoid air-to-air combat unless necessary on the way out from the target. (Please, I’m pretty aware of the Thunderbolts air-to-air prowess, also. But late in the war, it was used differently than to support the 8th Air Force bombers.)
