F-35b

[FASTBOAT TOUGH]

To the F-35 see the Jets and Planes...Thread Posts #37 and #41 these I believe will answer all your questions. With
#41 Item #3 for the unintended bleed over this has caused for a plane that should have been about ready to be fielded by now. These posts are still relevant. USAF fielding still pending at 2018. The F-35B might be 2020 due to the current two probation it was put under by the DOD that info is also in that thread somewhere within a couple of pages of the above Posts, look for the led in before the refs for it. This is one case where even my agreed upon two year window will be reduced to a year or year of fielding as with the MBT's already mentioned on this mornings post. It's impractical at this time due to all the uncertainty with these programs to do otherwise in my humble opion useless the current situations change drastically. I haven't recently checked the in game status but at the current pace several countries won't see them at all, but I'm not ready again to recommend any either, so for now enjoy them while you have them.

Seems to be the case.
Time look closer at the refitting/rebuilding of the AV-8 and F-18 to see what (if any) improvements they may be installing while they're extending their service life.

First off I think Don did this on purpose, and knew this would happen!?! And it's not even Aprils Fools Day! This is from part of my saved info for the Jets and Planes Patch info I've been saving now put off until "next year". When the time comes I would like to compare notes. Use them in order just trust me on this, note in the 3rd ref. about 6 paras down the funny reference to Austrailia getting their F-35's in 2013, normally their sites are kept up to date pretty well, maybe they've thrown their hands up in the air as well on those planes!?! For the HARRIER see my Jets and Planes Thread plenty there to keep you busy.

Though my reach will be a little more global this is all you get from me on F/A-18 Just like a Marine to hitch a ride from a Sailior, so here you go!?!
