The second is the F35 is a jack of all trades, master on none.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829176428435611931.post-70174543641053178852012-10-18T00:01:48.133-04:002012-10-18T00:01:48.133-04:00It's a shame you did not factor in the costs o...It's a shame you did not factor in the costs of running the F16, F18 and Harrier. It's replacing all these aircraft and up keep costs should factor how much does it cost to upkeep all of them compared to one jet? It may not be right for Canada I understand. Your foreign interests are committed enough for words only or if you have the US or UK to cover yours ***. Otherwise your just not committed. Maybe the US should keep it's nose out of your oir drilling interests in the artic. I'm sure Russia will negotiate fairly with a country that can't defend it's borders..............Patton80https://www.blogger.com/profile/07706250770461427856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829176428435611931.post-76894204448859955142012-04-18T12:54:15.550-04:002012-04-18T12:54:15.550-04:00I haven't seen such a crock since the Arrow wa...I haven't seen such a crock since the Arrow was replaced with nuclear armed missiles that couldn't hit their target regardless.
