For conversations sake, is the consensus among the "educated" masses, that the MC should go with Supers, vice the -35? From the briefings we've recieved and having flown the sim several times, the JSF is a HUGE technological leap ahead...albeit at a substantial monetary cost. Just an idea from way out in left field, but it seems to me that we (pilots) stand to benefit from this (spending the money now on a next-generation fighter), especially the next generation pilots. I figure if we were to stick with "tried and true" and not invest the money now, it would just make us obsolete more quickly in favor of (unfortunately) more capable UAVs. No doubt about it, we're going to be replaced...the question is how soon? Me rambling...
