I believe that we could and should do better than this thing. I am old enough to remember the F-111 project as a development towards a joint strike fighter and it being replaced by the F4 Phantom built not far from where I lived.

I believe we would be far better off replacing aging airframes of our current generation of aircraft and looking towards the use of unmanned units.
