From Gizmodo: According to the Pierre Sprey, co-designer of the F-16, the F35 is a turkey. Inherently, a terrible airplane. An airplane built for a dumb idea. A kludge that will fail time and time again. Just impossibly hopeless. And judging from the bajillion times the F-35 fleet has been grounded, well, he's probably not wrong. It's a trillion dollar failure. Watch Sprey eviscerate the F-35.
My Comment: I have posted this video before .... it deserves to be watched over and over again. His comments on the inability of the F-35 to provide close troop support is spot on.
I often compare the F35 to the Iphone - Full of gismo's and nonsense that nobody wants but yet it still sells.
