That's why I
never use blogs except for the following two Arm Chair General and Tank net AND that's only to track down additional sources I might not already have and again that's
very rarely.
Concerning the
F-35, I feel there's no need to change anything, especially if you read and
fully understand who wrote this report in
ref 2, that's why the ICO the F-35B all is quite from NAVAIR. If they had full confidence in the plane then since May when when tests were conducted on the WASP with a completely empty deck and since announcing IOC in July haven't they proved it can do the same onboard a ship that'll normally have 18-20 aircraft/helos on deck almost 8 months later? In
ref 4 USMC continuing ahead with work arounds - there'll be no missions, NAVAIR won't allow it and these are ongoing still. I'm not sold. Ten planes don't make a strike force I would caution patience here, it's only a date change, let's get it as right as possible, after all how many have been done already?

And if nothing above has convinced you please read this and then note the very extensive list of refs at the bottom. Also as a reminder about DID as you read an article you'll sometimes note a light shaded blue over a couple of words-those are links to a source on the issue being discussed. The charts are
highly useful especially in the weapons area, which by the way not even all the weapons these planes are designed to carry will be ready until
2017, barring any delays there as well.

Funny how the USMC has been quite about this in the government reports it can't even carry weapons -
KAMIKAZE missions most be the plan of attack!?!
I need some lunch before work, this had made me hungry, have a great day!!
Oh yeah-
TRACKING!
