Tell me more about this one.

In May 2002 Win Smith - in FADG #reply-17488613 - posted a link to an Atlantic article about the JSF decision process:

Uncle Sam Buys an Airplane

Here is a Promo on the JSF fighter. It is an all service aircraft that can be adapted to vertical takeoff by the Marines. Frankly, I don't think we need it either. The present lineup of fighters we have will last 20 years, and are superior to anything we are going to run into.

I think we should go ahead and jump into the robot planes coming up. They are the future. The AF hates them. No Fighters, no Fighter Pilots!
