That is one step in the right direction. Now it just needs a new wing and software.

And how about we get serious about IRST for when they are jamming our AAMRAMs?

The GE was supposed to suck. The P&W and the Rolls Royce were great. This is from the tech support folks I met when they parked it in my hangar.

The F-35 is a black hole project. I would imagine by 2020 or later it will be a capable aircraft. Obsolete, but capable.
