F-35B/C - Naval Air Discussions (USN & USMC)
Dear Members,
In view of the length of the old F-35 Discussion thread (at 206 pages), the Mod Team have decided to close the old thread. From today onwards, members can continue their F-35 discussions in new threads. To organise these discussions, we have decided to split these discussions into three threads namely:
We provide links to each of the other F-35 discussion threads above and this is No. 2 of 3 threads on the F-35. This thread dedicated to discussions related to the F-35B/C - Naval Air Discussions (covering all aircraft news specific to the USMC and the USN).
If you are a new member, you might want to read a backgrounder called "Air Power 101 for New Members", before posting to stay out of trouble (think of this as a survival guide, to avoid being banned by the Mod Team).
Journalism used to be an attempt to provide a balanced story. Unfortunately, some of the current reporting on the JSF tries to sell you a point of view that supports a pre-determined meme and we get poor quality journalism that contains known falsehoods to advance the meme. Further, we welcome informed criticism of the JSF program but we do not condone the passing-off of known falsehoods to advance an anti-F-35 meme (see the post on Clipping the Wings of Misinformation, in Air Power 101).
Having said the above, join us in the discussions below.
Cheers
