tflash Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 For some reason, I find the F-35C the most elegant and balanced of the 3. Very beautiful aircraft. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not just the cost of the ACFT but maintenance costs, they project them to be lower but they'll end up being higher just like the F-22.

topol-m Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I dont care you or another people how say but all turks say "TURKIYE" u must learn this. I don't care how all the turks say it, you post in an English forum not in a Turkish one. I'll just give you an example, Georgia is a country that most of us have heard of yet Georgians call their country Sakartvelo. Sounds familiar? I guess no. I don't have to learn how the people of each country around the world call their countries, I'm posting in an English forum. Even if you write it with font size "10" all caps, it will still be Turkey in English. Another thing to add is that acting that tough on me telling me what I "must" and "must not" do, doesn't have any effect on me, instead you can read Forum rule 5.2, which states what are the languages used for communication on the forums and while you are at it, check out 1.2 too as judging from your post you haven't.

hitman Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 what a waste of tax payers money then, high running costs?, country is struggling to get back on its feet , cant afford this . trying not to get to political of a debate, but its sad but true. america is broke just cant afford these weapon platforms. some would just look at it as stupid spending , think if ron paul gets in he going to address all this insane spending on military cut way back. Yes we can...do you realize that it costs more to keep an airframe current than it does to build a new aircraft? Give you an example: Boeings 747-800 has well over 500 miles of cables, wire, and electronics equipment that literally would cost more to replace than it would just to build a new aircraft...because in order to replace ALL of that copper, you have to dismantle the entire aircraft and then rebuild it. And while you are at it, you might as well do some NDI on the fuselage, ribs, skin panels, etc.... A nice, new, shiny 60 million dollar plane is a discount, when you compare it to the 75 million you spend on an F-15E refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
