When I went into the Air Force back in the late 70's one of the 1st aircraft I worked was the F-15. In fact one of the airframe's was a 74 model! Anyway I remember how the Media treated the newish F-16 with all it's "new" tech. How the fly by wire was super dangerous. Cost overruns, etc. But it turned out to be one of the best Fighter's ever developed. I was also lucky enough to get to fly in both Aircraft during my 24 years in.

Whenever I hear a story about how an aircraft system is bad, overpriced, etc. I remember a 60 minutes episode in the late 70s breaking down how overprieced & fragile the 'new' F15 Eagle program was...

I remember when they were proposing the F-15 and many critics were complaining about how the F-15 was too expensive, too complicated for maintainers to work on and only a "single " mission aircraft.

So, I clicked to see "Wait, why is F-35 shit this time?" knowing full well about the plane and misperception, and end up getting amazing video about media perception, great job!

My hometown is home of the 173rd fighter wing. They’ve trained F4, F16, and F15 pilots and starting next year they are transitioning to F35s and I could not be more stoked.

Doing some thumbnail math, that 2 trillion dollars amounts to about 13.5 million dollars per plane per year over 60 years, assuming 2456 F-35s purchased by the US over the life of the program. That's really not terrible for what it is.
