The F35: 17 years in development, massively over budget, nowhere near ready
The American people were assured the new jet would enter service in 2008 and be a high-performance replacement for the military’s aging airframes while only costing between $40 million and $50 million. Successful money trough. Military capability not so much. (www.pogo.org) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Lockheed and the DoD should be ashamed of trying to keep promising the public that the F-35 is the aircraft to take us through the 21 century, it is one of those programs that just keeps adding bells and whistles to make up for the bells and whistles that don't work. Lockheed and the Air Force has screwed this up big time yet no one will lose their job or their rank by defending this turkey, the costs to keep it flying during its proposed life will be astronomical. A updated version of the FA-18 Super Hornet would have done 90% of what the F-35 claims to do.
And the SR71 went from a napkin drawing to production in 18 months. Where politicians get involved, it goes south.
...don't forget the slide rules...
... and pocket protectors.
Yeah lets blame the polititians for it all...wow the mentality !!
The Gov laid out the specs and the people didn't get it done !!
But then again the people voted a criminal to the WH...so what else is new !!
