There's a reason we bought most of the UK's GR.7/GR.9 HARRIERS. And finally you can't launch them when the ship's on the bottom, that's why we called them "targets", nothing is more fun then having a green flare land on the deck to let you know you just ate a MK-48. Of course we never did annyything like that because we're  's!?!  I just hope after all the resources put into this program that the series comes out of this with a safe plane that'll do all it's meant to do.

Pat I'll have you know I worked for COMSUBRON 14 in the 70's and don't believe a word of it.
And just to keep this semi on subject so Don doesn't smack me with s dead fish...
Assuming the whole F-35 project isn't cancelled what's the current estimated date for deployment?
