Not certain about other names, but I think I'd opt to fly
something else if the name was "bumblebee".

Would the Marines even buy such an aircraft?

You mean apart from the fact that the airframe
is totaly different , it doesnt use seperate lift engines,
it can carry a greater payload further and faster and
last but not least, actually exists as more than a cancelled
project.

Are you saying it won't reach production and is destined to sit in the weeds at
Monino?

Yes, but obviously it could be also a cancelled project...

I think that was already taken by the F-18E.

Hurricane - in addition to following the UK "storm" series, the F-35B
is going to provide one hell of a down draft doing a vertical landing
at max landing weight.

What an utter fool. The Yak is not stealthy, has no advanced
weapons systems, etc. The Russians are at least 15 years
behind in aviation tech.
