A great complimentary team that I think the Raptor / Lightning will be for the next generation ... Once the F-35's bugs are worked out and it is flying at its full capability.
1. Oh look he's level two circle again, what shall I do?
2. Comparing a 16 to the 35 is a serious insult to the 16. If the 35 is playing goalie for the raptor, we're all F'd and just start drinking.

The F-35 struggles to be adequate at just getting in the air.
