Default Dump The Navy's Version Of The JSF (F-35C?)

""ā€œIā€™m growing more and more convinced that the Navy variant of the

the right, as costs increase. When we have an 80 percent solution in
active production, and significantly cheaper, the F-ā€‹ā€‹35C looks like a
great
candidate for cancellation,ā€ said one congressional aide."

Would the Navy be better off skipping the F-35, and using upgraded F/
A-18's
until UCAS-D, or some other solution, is ready?


Back in the same day once again
No consequences in a life without an end
so you take the money and watch it burn
as it all goes up in flames
Until you realize what you got to learn
you'll make the same mistake over and over again

say goodbye to one more day
and another chance for you to change
spinnin' circles' round the sun
but tomorrow never comes
tomorrow never comes
