I'm not really that pissed for the simple reason that we need new planes, and there are only so many to choose from. It's not like choosing a car, we're talking 5th generation stealth aircraft with specific abilities and interoperability with Norad and Nato. There aren't many planes that fit that bill. Just tell us what the actual cost is and get the F35 purchase done. Yes, it costs a lot of money, but we have been piggy backing off the Americans for 75 years. Get the equipment that is correct for the job and will get it done. I think the F35 is really the only option unless you go with a 4th generation design, which is not preferable.
