Months of work have failed to trim hundreds of unwanted pounds from the

I hear rumours that its not just the weight!!, Radar and avionics are
also a bit rushed, the Bays are a little too small among other
things...Can anyone confirm without being shot???

I hear rumors the JSF doesn't even exist, and that all the airframe
designers in America went back to their home countries!
