And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

F-35B, USMC ASTOVL. Much bigger than an F-16. Not as big as an F-15. But much chunkier than either one. No internal gun, sacrificed fuel and gun for lift fan behind the cockpit in addition to a swiveling exhaust. Wandering Neurons
Poorly. Something like four to eight times the price, for half the performance.
At used car lots, that kind of a "deal" is known as the "Manager's Special", because only the sales manager likes it. The customer is getting fleeced, and paying for the privilege.
Gnat sized yellow-jacket wannabe

Just like with the Thunderjug.
All that expensive crap, packed into so little space. Those things self extinct, regularly.
