They are retiring the platform.

The 22 is another example of going WAY over budget, but the biggest difference between it at the 35, is that it met IOC AND SOW expectations, whereas the 35 (look at the videos above for startters0 wasn't even close

Damn you're a silly old man.

All 3 F-35 have met IOC years ago.

And the F-22 still does not have IRST across the fleet.

Maybe so, but you are plain stupid. OF COURSE the 35 was IOC years ago, otherwise it would not be deployed with the services you moron. My point, which your alcoholic/cough syrup addled brain failed to capture was the 35 DID NOT MEET OPEVAL requirements (just like for example the Hornet failed OPEVAL yet we deployed it anyway) and it still has a crapload of critical failures. Man you are truly an idiot.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
