Alright, rebuttal, we dont give out information on our aircraft on "pamphlets" or books, the straight and simple truth is, its CLASSIFIED, guess you cant get that through your thick fucking skull.  You try to clown me and say im wrong.  Ok, so i chatted with a fellow Airman, who is a maintainer on the F-16.  This gentleman has been my friend for years, and yet...he cannot tell me the full capabilities of the F-16, and any information found on the internet about Air Force jets is an estimate.  Come on, we are smarter than that, we arent going to put full information on the internet about our capabilities so some allah loving douchebag can figure out how to take it out given the funds.  Now I cant speak for the Navy, or Marines about their aircraft, but after chatting with my friend further, i have come to find out that the F-35 is STILL in experimental status, and just because it "rolled off the line" does not mean its combat proven.  The X-35 will remain in partial Experimental status until it is combat proven.  Cold hard truth is, they havent had a reason to use it yet.  Look im not denying that you may be even half correct on these issues, but Cadet, dont discuss things above your paygrade until you know it inside and out.  I wish you luck and I hope you fly one day.  Cause I dont know how your training is for flying, but i hear its pretty strenuous.  Good luck.

P.S.  The X-35 is not getting the F designation until Fiscal year '07.  Thats October for our fiscal year.

Maybe at the base you could ASK the proper designation. If they say X-35, then ASK why www.jsf.mil sais otherwise.
Since you cant read, ill spell it out for you.  You think that they are going to come out and say they have an experimental aircraft?  No, they are gonna make it look all spiffy, and say they are developing the F-35.  If it were me doing PR for them, I sure as hell would use the F designation too.
