"The reliability of the F-35 systems, the decreased time spent on maintenance and the increased use of simulator training that is anticipated for this fifth-generation fighter will result in greater aircraft availability. Given this greater availability of aircraft, the Air Force will get as many operational flight hours with 65 F-35s as it does with the CF-18s."
Which is opposite from the reality.
Operational Assessment
The JSF Operational Test Team completed an operational assessment of the F-35 program and determined that it is not on track to meet operational effectiveness or operational suitability requirements. The JSF Operational Test Team assessed the program based on measured and predicted performance against requirements from the JSF Operational Requirements Document, which was re-validated in 2009.
