The F-35 Maneuverability Debate Is Over.


Sometimes an issue comes up and both sides provide compelling evidence.

Its easy to get wrapped around the axle..especially when the subject is outside your lane.

That's how I felt about the F-35 maneuverability debate.  I heard from the critics (you know who you are), that the F-35 was a dog, couldn't possibly handle anything outside of a crop duster in a dogfight and that our pilots were going to be at a severe disadvantage when facing enemy forces.

Then "Elements of Power" Blog put out an article that seems to have taken apart the critics arguments and not one contrary opinion has been voiced.  You can read his article here, but for me...especially in light of the facts that he put forward...this debate is now over.

The F-35 will be a winner.
