Why would you say that?
Go read the Wikipedia article on the F-35. In 2014 the program was 163 BILLION dollars over budget and 7 years behind schedule. Not only that, it has taken so long to develop this plane that most of the already built planes have to be gutted down to the air frame because the engines and electronics are obsolete. Definitely the worse weapon systems development program in the history of the US military.

After 21 years of development and trouble shooting it is obsolete befoe it is completed.
Somebody needs to just kill this POS. Too big to fail is a poor excuse for outrigh failure. Anybody that points to Lockheed as having retained their prowess as an aircraft builder needs to rethink their claims. Lockheed has milked the treasury for all it can and it is time to stop them.
This thing is a poster child of a failed project.

Go read the Wikipedia article...GO READ THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE???"Oh, for a moment I thought you would know what an RFP is, or a PDR, or a CDR or you have worked with DCAA or DCAS or DPRO or know what a SPO is.
