I’m not. People keep thinking of the F-35 as a fighter; a stealthy F-16. It isn’t any such thing, is closer to a stealthy A-7. But the “A” suffix is very out of vogue these days.

Looks a lot better than the A-7 though. Overall way way too expensive which is why the AF is going to drones for many of it’s missions now days. Much cheaper and does the same job so why not?
