Read in the news the other day that the government may not pick the much maligned F-35 after all. Apparently the Eurofighter, F-15 Silent Eagle and F-18 Super Hornet are being considered. If they go with any of those they'll get more than 65 planes which is what they'll get from the F-35, plus all the others have two engines which is beneficial if your engine flames out over the arctic while on patrol.
