[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16607745, member: 51947"] The F-35 has limited afterburner as well as the RAM covering the vertical stabilizers will start to melt off after 90 seconds or so. Instead of fixing it they limited the time the burners can be running. The F-35 program is like the Air Force is purposely forgetting the mistakes of the ol' "Century Series" fighter's. They were a "Jack of all trades, but a master of none." The F-22 can fight but we have a very limited number, and several were damaged when Michael took out Tyndal, cutting it from 3 to 2 "active" squadrons. To top it off if even if we wanted to make the Raptor again, somehow we lost the tooling, and the avionics are 90's tech so restarting production would cost more than building a new plane. The Japanese have been interested in The YF-23 with newer avionics and sensor suite from the F-35, the USAF and even the Navy should get in on that. The Navy is missing the Tomcat and her long legs. There was a proposal that would have upgraded the avionics as well as add new engines that had thrust vectoring and supercruise at Mach 1.3 to the F-14, but it was scrapped and they went with more Super Hornets. Sadly most F-14s are being destroyed just so Iran cant get parts. [/QUOTE]
