Default Navy, Marine leaders urge no delay in Joint Strike Fighter program

http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0304/031804cdam1.htm
Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham, R-Calif., a former Navy fighter pilot,
said he was concerned that the JSF was not advanced enough to outfight
the best Russian-made fighters. And he suggested it would be cheaper
if the program were limited to just the conventional aircraft,
designed for the Air Force, and the carrier version planned for the
Navy.


But the F-35C is both the most expensive per plane and the version
wanted in the smallest numbers.
