F-35 Declared Operational

[Gman]

I think anyone that calls it a replacement for the Warthog is fooling themselves, but that doesn't mean that it isn't an incredibly capable aircraft.

Capable of what, militarily speaking? Not a great fighter, not a great ground attack aircraft, not a good close air support aircraft...but it's stealthy!

The F-22 is a capable aircraft, but there are only around 200 of them and they're also extremely expensive.

Way too expensive. I'd rather see more aircraft with more capability for that money.
