11. Yup almost nothing under wing & 2 internal stations..............

Some Canadians have figured the whole program is a scam & are doing all they can to cut all canadian ties to a swindle.

http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/2012-2013/2012/09/runaway-fighter.html

These Canadian journalists kick the crap out of lying liars, here are a few dozen examples: https://www.google.com/search?q=cbc+f-35&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US fficial&client=firefox-a

They have no stealth & for VTOL they have small wings & corner like a F-104 & accelerate like an F-80.

My take is a Vietnan era F-4 Phantom could out dogfight one & with new Sparrow & AAMRAM missiles, blow it out of the air & still carry more bombs than a B-17.

The Stealth is a big selling point & stealth is a myth, they pulled the F-117 out of service cause it was slow, defenseless & easy to detect.

The internal stations are for B-61 nukes which are in need of a $20,000,000,000 upgrade, I do not think we will ever need them.

This link http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/2012-2013/2012/09/web-interview-sprey.html is the man who designed the F-16 & thought the F-15 was heavy, big, expensive & not a great bargain.

SHit, I was looking for b-61 upgrade costs & found in Oct 24 2012 the US has deployed a bunch of B-61's to Turkey in case we need to nike people?!?!? Kind of pisses me off nothing is worth Nuclear War, NOTHING.

http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2012/10/us-deploys-70-nuclear-bombs-in-turkey-2484966.html

Back to the point the CBC show & docs answers almost any questions you may ever have about the flying turkey turd aka F-35.

What really annoys me is the f-35 is called a Lightning II and it stole its name from the P-38 Lightning a great fighter. It should have been called the (f)B-36 turdblossum II, it is more like a B-36 than a P-38!
