Second Line of Defense is still over-hyping the F-35 even thought it has numerous problems to get over before it can be fielded. The F-35 is years away from having much use.
Since the F-35 is so faulty, we can take the SLD fantasy farther with the low threat in places like Libya. We could use small corporate jets for networked manned ISR.
For instance, the Bach doesn't suffer the same thermal issues, and apparently doesn't suffer all the stuff-ups with the man-machine interface. The Bach probably has better mission reliability, not having problems with a faulty IPP or poor fuel-inerting system. And with a crew of flight-test engineers to run everything (including rebooting faulty mission software) we can have this new kind of "warfighter" trouble shoot design screw ups as they happen.
Uninspired, poorly project-managed and over-priced crapware can get to the "warfighter" sooner.
Sorry SLD, a flying lab does not indicate a heck of a lot of what the F-35 will be able to because the F-35 airframe has so many problems.
Keep up the gross disinformation though.

What would you expect from a Lockheed sponsored web site. Not much different than when they tell the Lexington Prosititute "Dr." Loren Thompson what he should say. Lockheed is blazing new trails in marketing disinformation that reminds me of Josef Geobbels. Of course the JPO hasn't been far behind at least until Adm. Venlet.
