F-35 Lightning Miramar 2014 II

Canada got sucked into (bribed?) buying this multirole p.o.s. to replace our aging fleet of CF-18's that are now over 30 years old. Totally unsuitable for operations in a cold arctic environment with lots of distance between airbases. The Grippen ,F-23 or even the Super Hornet would have been far more suitable for far less money even without the cost over runs and developmental problems of this over priced flying Turd!  What kind of retard thought this thing could go toe to toe with an Su-27 or 35 ??  Even an old F-5 or mig-21 could turn circles around this heap! Most of them will probably end up spending their Canadian operational career in the repair hangars at Cold Lake or Bagotville trying to thaw out their pre-start motors!. It's the Cf-104 all over again!....only way more expensive . Fuckin bring back the Arrow already ! LMAO!!
