us to cut f35 fighter numbers, page-18

I reckon they should undo the export ban on the F-22. F-35's escorted by F-22's would provide greater domination of any airspace.

Think the F-22 would have more advantage over the J-20 than the F-35 would. Analysts have indicated that the J-20 is larger than the F-35 giving it better range, and carrying more weapons.

Anyway - Japan purchasing the F-35 would be good for our forward orders. Reduce US, and increase other countries.

Still patiently awaiting that big announcement. Still assuming, this time next year we will be in production. Till I hear diferently!
