That may be preferable to declaring it a game-changing, Z-axis enabler of the networked battlespace, five years (if all goes well) before its seven-years-late KPP-compliant IOC.


But to each his own.


By the way, Mr F, did you come up with a sortie generation rate/number of jets needed to provide AEW for an amphib group?


And given the jet's cooling limitations, do you think that you could run the APG-81 on a 100 per cent duty cycle at high power for the duration of a sortie? (Photo hint - those big airscoops are not there to cool the crew's beer.)


Detail questions, for sure, but directly relevant to any discussion of what Marine forces with F-35Bs can do without CSG support.
