It's amazing how horrible the F35 program is doing currently these past 5 years. It's costing way more than it should & as a 5th gen fighter it's a joke. It's been grounded 8 times since they started service. On the up side the F22 although built for different roles & more complex was only grounded twice in its service history. If I was in charge of choosing a replacement for aging legacy aircraft I would have a hard time replacing F18s, AV8s, A10s, & F16s with such a troubled aircraft.
